Vanity, 1,000 google hits. Skrewler 01:15, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment - this was an orphaned AFD. Now listed properly. Eddie.willers 01:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. -- Femmina 01:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep if verified. Forget the blog: the book is verified, and that is a tremendous number of hits for a philosophy popularizer. Geogre 02:55, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete 1,000 hits is a low number of google hits for a philosophy popularizer who claims notability. No indication of notability. Mr. Weate also lists Consultancy as his profession on his blog. Bwithh 03:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep To help work against systemic bias. For someone working in philosophy from Africa that's a lot of hits. He's also published scholarly papers Achille Mbembe and the Postcolony: Going beyond the Text in Research in African Literatures and Postcolonial theory on the brink: a critique of Achille Mbembe's On the Postcolony in African Identities. That would be below my bar on an American/European academic but I'd keep this. Dlyons493 Talk 10:54, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Dlyons493 and for Young Person's Guide to Philosophy, available in many school and public libraries. - squibix 15:50, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per WP:BIO as author of widely published and reviewed book. Capitalistroadster 16:48, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep marginal but systemic bias argument is persuasive in this case. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 18:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep author listed on amazon with a popular title. --Quiddity 04:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the verifications above. - Mgm|(talk) 10:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per, um, everyone. Good research, guys. Jacqui★ 15:05, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand. Why was this targeted as part of the The war on blogs? The blog link is incidental. He is writing and publishing in a country where 1% of the country has internet access. Google is not likely to be an accurate measure of his notability. As above, this is a great example of systemic bias. mennonot 00:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
