Matt Stoller

• Delete. Not notable. Looks like vanity, indeed, with the inane comment about dogs. Alexa for bopnews.com, which is not actually mentioned in the article: 111,307. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 04:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Not vanity--the article was contributed by someone other than the subject if you check its history. The inane bit about dogs is lifted from the blurb on the 2004 Democratic Convention descriptions of bloggers they accredited. Matt Stoller was one of these, a distinction also left out of this tiny write-up. User:Betsythedevine
• Keep. Notable in his field. Not only one of 123 bloggers at DNC 2004, he wrote the Democratic Convention's official weblog with the official blogger, Eric Schnure [1]. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:19, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I Googled this guy's name and got 92,700 hits.--Kross 15:05, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Doesn't look like a vanity site - it even fails to identify his birth date. Unless, of course, that is just a sly trick.... However, it sounds like he was at least among the bloggers that the parties decided to take seriously. (This despite the fact that I cannot be troubled to read his blog.) --Habap 18:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Influential in bringing a presidential candidate into the race, how can he not be notable? That aside, he is distinctive for his coverage of the DNC and other political events. --ElfWord 11:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Stoller is notable. Kaibabsquirrel 23:03, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a disruptive VfD nomination. Rhobite 02:25, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I object to User:Bloghate's POV attempt to purge all blog related articles. -- Infrogmation 02:27, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Contributions by nominator are suspicious given the (potentially offensive) user name. Considering an WP:RFC if these disruptive actions continue. Hall Monitor 17:11, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
