Re-NewsIt!

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unremarkable wingnut blog that is "internet famous" (i.e. briefly mentioned) for releasing the photos of Kendrick Johnson's autopsy. Guy (Help!) 22:46, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * keep notable for multiple incidents, mentioned by many reliable sources (although admittedly not a topic of in depth discussion at any of them) Gaijin42 (talk) 17:07, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - A couple brief mentions of this anonymous attack blog (all of which treat it as a fringe curiosity) is not enough to satisfy the general notability guideline. There is no in-depth discussion of the site or its creator; we know only that it's described as "a right-wing blog devoted to disputing facts around the shooting of black people" and that its creator has been suspended from Twitter for harassment. This seems thin gruel on which to base an actual article. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:33, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Gaijin42. Yes, the gruel is thin but it's the best we have.  Readers with an interest in Shaun King (activist) will want some sort of background on this site due to its central role in the racial identity controversy.--Nowa (talk) 23:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That's an argument for a redirect, not for a badly-sourced article on a website of no demonstrable notability. Guy (Help!) 21:03, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect where?--Nowa (talk) 23:14, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete sources not sufficient to grant it independent notability from the subjects of its articles. Artw (talk) 15:18, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no evidence of inherent or sustained notability. The little coverage it has is very recent and not directly related to the site itself. GraniteSand (talk) 21:06, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure was going to say Redirect to Shaun King (activist) per WP:ONEVENT - if the other events mentioned by Gajin are significant then this is a nexus concept, and perhaps should belong as a section in Fringe right-wing blogs or some such.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC).


 * Delete -Even the 'source' that used this blog, is not a reliable source. It's not notable at all and should have been CSDed. Dave Dial (talk) 23:28, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Non-notable blog. Although a number of reliable references mention the blog, the coverage of the blog itself is not significant enough. Perhaps the blog could be mentioned in Shaun King (activist) and Death of Kendrick Johnson. --Edcolins (talk) 16:42, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
