Velvet Underground (blog)
Completing a nomination: a doubt about the actual notability of this blog has been raised, of which I have no idea. The editors from Israel may help here. - Liberatore(T) 16:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Not an Israeli editor, but i never heard about that blog, and I know other notable blogs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.137.115 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 9 June 2006

 * Weak keep per above. --Coredesat 08:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Marina T. - but the article needs some links/citations to show evidence that it passes WP:WEB Kevin 09:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, per above, Alexa traffic ranking of 613 -- ☆ TBC ☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 11:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The Alexa rank refers to the whole site, which appears to contain other blogs (see below). - Liberatore(T) 17:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it is demonstrated that this meets the criteria laid out at WP:WEB.--Isotope23 12:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Can this be incorporated into an article on Media in Israel or Journalism in Israel? --Uncle Ed 16:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable in Israel, has a healthy google and alexia rating and enough sources to back up claims.--Auger Martel 16:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Google and Alexa are irrelevant to meeting WP:WEB criteria, but I'd be interested to see any sources or cites that indicate this meets WP:WEB.--Isotope23 16:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, the alexa ranking refers to the whole site nana.co.il. It seems to me that this site has a number of other blogs; for example, here is what appears to be another blog on the same site. - Liberatore(T) 17:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Isotope23. JChap 01:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
