Not notable. GeorgeLouis (talk) 15:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Article requires a fair amount of work to draw this out, but Chisholm's notability derives mainly from being the founder and public face of BlueOregon, someone whose political views are frequently sought out by numerous statewide and national publications. The best sources in the article are unfortunately behind a paywall which will make it a little difficult to draw this out more clearly. I hope somebody takes the time to do so, it would be a shame to delete this article, but it does require a bit of improvement for the notability to be more visible in the article. -Pete (talk) 17:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: I expanded the lead section, reorganized the sections a bit, and fixed a few bare URL citations. None of this added new sources or major substance to the article, but I think it makes it a little easier to read and makes Chisholm's significance clearer from the get-go. -Pete (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep No policy cited for deletion. Meets WP:GNG on basis of Heisman Trophy prognostication notability alone. There are multiple mentions (cited in article) to nationwide press for that. Most articles also mention subject's "other" job as political consultant. --Esprqii (talk) 23:11, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Hey everyone, Kari here. I'll leave the notability discussion to all of you.  But I thought I'd just note that I tend to agree that the Heisman section of my page doesn't really do a good job of explaining what it is that I do.  I get hundreds and hundreds of press mentions every football season, so I'd tend to think that's notable.  In any case, I added a few articles to the Talk page for my page, in case anyone is motivated to edit the page itself.  Thanks! Karichisholm (talk) 07:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As others have noted, between both the sport articles mentioned in national press and his being the founder and public face of BlueOregona fairly influential political blog and whose views are frequently sought out by both statewide and national publications and media, I think the article clearly meets the notability requirement for retention.
