[edit] Contesting speedy deletion

Huh...I've tagged so many pages for speedy deletion, and here I am contesting one myself. Hopefully I can do a proper job :)

The subject is a notable blogger and author; these claims are made in the first sentence of the article. Although WP:CSD#A7 only needs claims of importance, additional notability per WP:BIO is established by the sources provided both in the article, which are profiles written by major news organizations (ABC News, BBC News, and The New York Times) as well as the additional links above. --jonny-mt 03:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
