PopText[edit]

Non-notable blog. Google turns up a lot of hits on the word "poptext", but only a comparative handful are about this blog. And the few direct google hits there are seem to be confined mainly to other blogs. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 14:12, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as non-notable. 03:30, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

a) Is it a problem that this blog is primarily significant only within a particular (albeit large) community?

b) Non-blog references to PopText:

• Sunday Times: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22872-1700203,00.html

• Vanity, spam. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 15:47, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Mike Rosoft; news articles are just general articles about Pop related blogs; if they were in depth or did more than just list it, I might feel differently. Peyna 15:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, uncyclopedic. All the article states is that Poptext "is a blog". HackJandy 22:25, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I just did a bit of a cleanup though it still needs some work. I think it's an important and notable mp3 blog that's gaining buckets of popularity with every passing day. It's been mentioned in the press (ok, just a tiny bit but it is something) and is a big part of the community. The word itself is interesting as well if its use kicks off. It's not quite as popular as something like Fluxblog but it's getting there. I'm slightly biased because I'm a reader (though don't know the author personally or anything like that) but I think it should stay if we're to have articles on mp3 blogs or other such websites at all.
