I turned this down as an A7 speedy, as it makes some claim to notability. I am neutral. Black Kite (t) (c) 18:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete primary clam to notability is running a website we don't have an article on. Not an A7, but doesn't pass WP:N, WP:V, or WP:BLP. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  03:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Long time TechTV host and well known internet personality who runs his own large convention every summer. Nomination here was certainly not in bad faith, but the A7 speedy was made by a user whose third contrib was to speedy this without as much of a basic read of sources. Should be kept, if only for hosting Call for Help.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: Un-notable person from a defunct network channel. --Monterey Bay (talk) 03:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies WP:NOTE. I am seeing quite a bit of coverage from multiple different reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. -- Cirt (talk) 16:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Was at one point a reasonably well known international internet personality thanks to his Lockergnome newsletter and had many fans/subscribers. Also hosted the Tech TV show and a radio show on WHO.
 * keep. I'm finding coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject including this and this. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * keep. Chris is not a "one-time" Internet celebrity. All of his sites continue to receive several million hits per month. He is a keynote speaker at conferences all over the world. His conference, Gnomedex, attracts some of the biggest "names" in social media and technology every summer. He sends out an opt-in newsletter to more than 200,000 people per day. The active communities he runs boasts more than 100,000 members between them. He publishes monthly in a magazine and is highly sought-after to appear at social media and technology events around the United States.
