[edit] Notability

It's my understanding that WP:BIO requires essentially two events of newsworthy coverage. I see one here at this point. Erechtheus 05:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know that it "requires" anything, but I'll try to make it more clear. Now that I've tracked down a reputable source attesting to his popularity, I put that in as well. He's the French equivalent of Cory Doctorow or Glenn Reynolds, to pick a couple names. And his announcement of support for Sarkozy is arguably newsworthy as a separate event (you can find coverage on the French edition of Google News), the cite is simply taken from the primary source. --Michael Snow 06:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing noteworthy I can see here! Tons of people have bought and sold various companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.130.96 (talk) 13:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed

Why is Loic Le Meur buying Ublog mentioned as a controversy? Who claims that it is often stated that he founded Ublog? --Heikoh 23:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Loic did incorporate Ublog (it was merely a side project of Stéphane Le Solliec before that, I believe). It is often thus written that he founded Ublog (lastly, right here). Early french bloggers rarely see that as a good thing, and would rather see Stéphane get proper credit for it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.237.199.205 (talk) 22:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC).
