Re: Blog article

Hi TheRealPastafarian. I understand where you're coming from. The main issue this blog might have with Wikipedia is its notability. Basically, for the blog to satisfy the notability criteria for web content, it must have been the subject of multiple reliable sources. If the blog satisfies this requirement, and you can verify it, the article is probably fit for Wikipedia (and will not be deleted). You may also want to check out Wikipedia:Your first article. Let me know how it goes. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
