Non-notable blogger. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  23:06, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Would hardly say he's non-notable when his blog gets millions of visitors a month and has an Alexa rank of less than 5000. 130.88.176.246 (talk) 23:39, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as having insufficiently detailed coverage in independent third party sources. If such sources are found and integrated, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:47, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Sourcing is a problem, but he's done a lot of interesting things, between leading Association of Shareware Professionals, the blog, the book Personal Development for Smart People, and his writing about sleep. 1 is almost significant coverage. 2 briefly covers his blog. A number of other books mention his work on sleep. – Pnm (talk) 00:58, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep References seem to just about get him over the notability bar, particularly this one. &mdash;SW&mdash; confer 00:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - He's the world's #1 self-development blogger (See Alexa - he's #1 in the "Self Help" Category, and #3 in the "Mental Health" Category - one higher than the American Psychological Association. o_O), an award-winning game programmer and published author (I've added a reference to Amazon.com for his book). I'll look for some more cites, but he's clearly notable and that's why this page survived the last two AFDs. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 04:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I found and added 3 more cites. I'm not sure if they should be under references or sources though if someone wants to look at that, please. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 04:51, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note the result of the first AfD was delete. – Pnm (talk) 14:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
