Front Porch Republic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor blog which does not seem to have attracted the requisite attention from anybody. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  04:02, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - Does seem to be cited by several conservative websites, but I'm not seeing either (a) substantial coverage of Front Porch Republic as a subject itself or (b) sufficient use by major publications. Willing to change !vote if sources can be found. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 17:42, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Let it Live - As the creator of this page, I'd like to see it stay intact. While I admit this blog is on the lower end of what Wikipedia aims to cover, I do think it is worthy of this small page. Here and here, you can see Front Porch Republic mentioned in the NYT. Here the NYT address it more directly. And here and here are some articles on the ongoing rivalry between Front Porch Republic and the Postmodern Conservative at National Review. So while the blog it doesn't need a long history, I consider this short entry justified.

 * Keep – I think it's more of a webzine than a blog. Anyway, I am going to !vote keep because it has been written about in some depth (for example here) by Rod Dreher, who I think is one of the more important writers on politics right now. As Dreher says, 97% of conservatives don't care about these debates, but the size of the audience doesn't necessarily correspond to their influence. It's a modest article, but I think it deserves to survive. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - I'm probably in the same place as Rhododendrites, but I do appreciate where Margin1522 is coming from. My concerns is that subject has really only been written about by those who probably read about it and write about other similar things. It's still coverage but its very "walled garden" sort of stuff - everybody writing about each other. Probably 50/50, leaning toward deletion without some proper significant coverage.
