INCLUSIONISM! Lotsofissues 06:18, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know about deletion, I hear this term quite a bit. The article could use some going-over, though; a lot of this probably belongs in the main weblog entry. At least the history of the term is useful information. --Pollen 10:20, 1 May 2004 (UTC)Insert non-formatted text here

Article listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion Apr 29 to May 6 2004, consensus was to keep. Discussion:
The article strikes me as gibberish (mythology?), and wikipedia is not a dictionary or a glossary of slang anyway. Non-notable. Delete. Falcon 01:43, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Pretty sure I've heard this term before, and blogs are a very important cultural phenomenon circa 2004. Everyking 02:12, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- It's not gibberish, it's just not very well written. The blogosphere refers to the interconnected world of weblogs - it's both a real phenomenon and a commonly-used term. Weblog says a bit about the types of blogs, but it doesn't really discuss the culture and interaction between blogs, nor should it — there's already plenty to cover there. There's definitely room for a good article on the blogosphere, this just isn't it yet. I improved a bit, but more work is needed. Isomorphic 02:15, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. I've never really heard of "warblogs" and "techblogs" or whatever, but blogosphere itself is certainly a word, and an encyclopedic concept at that. Meelar 02:22, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Warblog is definitely a common term (I know it despite not being a blogger,) and I think technoblog is too. Isomorphic 03:16, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a real term, and fairly common among the more voiciferous bloggers. -Sean 02:31, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a real, emergent phenomenon. Interconnectedness, you know? DS 03:12, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It is quite out of date though, maybe I'll do something about that.--Samuel J. Howard 12:49, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This become a standard word faster than "e-mail" did. Alcarillo 20:01, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. -- Decumanus | Talk 04:22, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Partial merge (of whatever is verifiable) with Weblog and redirect. anthony (see warning)
The problem is not the term but the article itself. It's factually incorrect. See this paper http://www.blogninja.com/hicss05.blogconv.pdf

I went back and forth on inclusion. I think not having it at this time is probably better. Stirling Newberry 01:39, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
