- Delete. This e-publication is not notable (lack of in-depth coverage of the publication itself, in independent reliable sources), notwithstanding that it was involved in a short-term controversy about what it said about a particular player. The controversy (which accounts for most mentions of this blog in sources) is not itself notable, and is at best a minor side point in the player's bio article (it probably passes the WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE test). PS: If the article is kept, it needs to have its citations repaired; many of them are abusing the
|title=parameter to provide misc. annotations instead of the titles of the articles they link to, most are missing dates and other key information, etc. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
