Of the 13 references provided 2 are about Barker (Boston Globe and Wall Street Journal), the rest are either about the blog he writes or are primary sources from the blog itself and dont do much to establish the notability of this biography. One reference doesn't even mention Barker at all. Perhaps an article about the blog would be more appropriate. RadioFan (talk) 02:36, 9 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
