Bill Whittle
(first post)I listened to a Youtube video by Bill Whittle. I wanted to know something about his background to help form my opinions of him and what he was saying [from a somewhat impartial source]. Unfortunately, Wiki decided to take down the article, in effect, censor it, and deny that information to me. I object very strongly.

(another post) I too found it wrong to censor the biography on Bill Whittle. You have other well known people included, and I find your objection to including Bill Whittle a very weak argument.

(another post) 11/26/12 I go to Wikipedia for information and am interested in information about Bill Whittle, disappointed to find it deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.68.150.42 (talk) 16:02, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Notability concerns: Subject doesn't seem to meet criteria for inclusion described in Wikipedia:Notability, specifically WP:SIGCOV. Being a blogger, author, or host of a non-notable program does not necessarily make a person notable. Article prod was removed with the rationale "Whittle isn't just a normal blogger. PajamasMedia is a multi-million dollar investment, and Whittle is no small part of the production." However, being part of a multimillion dollar investment does not make a blogger notable. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:14, 15 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
