Soldier Blog
As per poker blog. A soldier blog is a blog by/about a soldier... so, how is this encyclopedic? Skrewler 05:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Merged definition into List of blogging terms. The rest of the article is blatant advertisement for nn blogs. --Timecop 05:46, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Nothing more than a definition (even though a very detailed one), and a list of websites that fit the definition. Also delete as per arguments at Articles for deletion/Poker blog. Saberwyn 05:49, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Will support redirect to List of blogging terms with later breakout as secondary option. If kept, can those interested in keeping the article find some non-U.S. Armed Forces blogs and some non-Iraqui War blogs to counter systemic bias? Saberwyn 10:41, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep and rename. Well known form of blogging but should be renamed as Milblogging with 139,000 Google hits see and one Googlenews return . Important and interesting phenomenon. Capitalistroadster 05:52, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No doubt. But there's already an entry for 'Milblog' at List of blogging terms and its briefly mentioned at Blog as well. What more do you need? Certainly a 20-something spamlist of links to blogs isn't a criteria for keeping this junk. --Timecop 06:05, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. -- Femmina 06:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per Saberwyn. - Randwicked 07:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. 65.34.232.136 08:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * vote discounted by closing admin (ip vote). Jtkiefer T  01:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per above. There are already comprehenisve lists of milblogs elsewhere & this is not encyclopedic. Per CR's point, the number of duplicates on Google is quite high.  ( ca. 660 out of the 1000 returned sample).  Granted, the extrapolation is still some 60,000 hits, but when you factor in the inflationary factor created by tags, banners, cross-links, etc..., etc... the result size surely dwindles much further still.  That is not to say that this should be elided, but coverage at List of blogging terms is adequate. Dottore So 08:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Why should this garbage be on here? Incognito 12:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per above --Depakote 12:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of blogging terms, per usual procedure for merges. Note that this nomination may be part of a GNAA troll campaign.  This is not to encourage you to vote keep, but merely something you should keep in mind before casting your vote. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect so people who type this find the entry on the List of blogging terms. - Mgm|(talk) 09:35, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. According to the official Deletion Guidelines at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy, the problems cited above are merely content issues and should be amended through the editing process. Prejudicial statements suggest a troll campaign. Nothing in the article is in direct violation of the Wikipedia Deletion Guidelines. This applies to Skrewler's wider campaign against Wikipedia blog listings. -- 58.143.156.115 21:44, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
