Someguys blog. Not notable website. Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 17:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article is crap, but 150+ references on Google News -- that's current news. Aravosis and guest blogger Cliff Schechter are regularly on cable TV, Americablog was part of breaking the Jeff Gannon story, and Americablog embarrassed Congress into passing a cell phone records privacy law by buying Gen. Wesley Clark's records. --Dhartung | Talk 19:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. May deserve brief mention at Jeff Gannon or privacy law, then, but a whole article about the blog is always going to be crap because of the lack of independent sources specifically about the blog. MastCell 21:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rewrite. I'm with Dhartung on this one. --Action Jackson IV 22:47, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Used as a source for one of the more bizarre controversies at the White House. --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Article title should be corrected, though. As the article itself notes, it should be "AMERICAblog". Askari Mark (Talk) 03:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
