Diabetes Mine

News coverage generally trivial. Business Week article is about a letter the blogger sent, not the blog, and FOX News only writes one paragraph about the blog. Computerjoe 's talk 22:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - A Google News search suggests notability Jenuk1985  |  Talk  22:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment A search of the Google News archives brings up 34 hits, but it doesn't look like the site itself is actually reported on or critiqued, it's just mentioned as part of a list, or simply as an example. Not ready to vote (yet), just mentioning. Matt Deres (talk) 12:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * keep It's active, up-to-date, provides a public service (as opposed to rating the Star Trek captains or something), and the blogger has also co-written a mainstream book on the same subject. It's still borderline I guess, but I'm okay with keeping. Matt Deres (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you discussing the blog or the article? And its (the article's or the blog's) quality is not the issue, notability is. I don't believe any mentions of it are any more than trivial. Its Technorati rank is 16,000 meaning it's the 16000th most linked to blog. That, in my opinion, isn't notable and unless any significant media coverage is found I don't believe it is. Computerjoe 's talk  20:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't understand why the Businees Week article about the blogger can not be used to establish notability of the blog. I also don't think that is trivial the mention in the  "Best Blogs: 10 Health Web Sites Worth a Click" by Fox. --J.Mundo (talk) 18:28, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability isn't inherited. Computerjoe 's talk 20:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
