 * Yes, there's a link on the article page. The existence of the link does not prove notability.  User:Zoe|(talk) 04:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, being associated with a political campaign does not make a blog notable. Daniel Case 04:22, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Do not delete a number of their stories and actions have become a part of the campaign.  - LowRoller 04:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Both of those are rather trivial coverage in articles or roundups devoted to campaign news. The story is the campaign, not the blog. Daniel Case 04:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * In both cases it did turn out to impact the race. - LowRoller 04:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * What's the proof for that? Polls and articles discussing them, please. Daniel Case 06:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep I think Wikipedia needs to go in the direction of having pages about all of these political blogs: they are an important new phenomenon and very frequently generate news. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
 * Consider that many of these, particularly this one, are related to campaigns. A few weeks after November they will effectively be dead. In a year they will no longer be encyclopedic, particularly if the candidate loses. Any news generated by the blog can thus effectively be dealt with in the article about the official supported. We considered that sort of thing when WP:WEB was created. Blogs need to be lasting to be notable. The Daily Kos is perhaps the acme of a notable political blog. This is a long way from that. As for their novelty, consider that in a few years they will be standard, perhaps meriting their own section in articles about political campaigning and such and an external link but not a separate article, IMO, no more than the individual classrooms in a school building would.
