The Dumbing of America

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Here we seem to have somebody plugging their own website/blog. There is just enough claim of notability to avoid speedy deletion if feeling generous. It has interviewed famous people but notability is not inherited in that way. The guy who runs it was also on local radio, once. It was in a local competition, but it didn't win. It gets the most passing of mentions in Spin. I am not seeing any RS other coverage when Googling although the fact that other, more notable, things use the same name/phrase makes it hard to search. In short, almost certainly not notable. DanielRigal (talk) 20:37, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: single reference to a cursory mention in a magazine website (the name of the website is mentioned and nothing else, in a single-sentence description of a video). A google search only seems to yield the website itself, or other media which contain the phrase "The Dumbing of America" but do not appear to refer to the website. No evidence that this meets WP:GNG.  Giftiger Wunsch   [TALK]  20:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
