Non-notable web content. There aren't multiple independent sources which cover the website to a non-trivial extent. Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 06:37, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

I have to disagree thoroughly. Barstool Sports is in the top 5,000 sites worldwide, and is a noted sports blog, having been featured multiple times on 20/20, Inside Edition, sportscenter. It additionally holds parties that have created stateside buzz for now worldwide acts such as Mac Miller and avicii. That said, the current entry needs a massive amount of work. -TMcCarthy  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.58.4 (talk) 21:13, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I see there was an AfD and conclusion to delete in 2009 as well. I doesn't look like anything significant has changed since then. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:06, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

If you give me a day, I am planning on making this article full of enough sourced content. I do not think it should be deleted. This is a huge blog on the internet, especially among college students and the New England area, and it receives a lot of press. I can list multiple sources which have covered the activities and people behind the blog. 24.60.119.82 (talk) 12:37, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - per A7. Article is about real web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
