The result was keep. Very weak reasoning for keep (Reuters, and definitely not the blogging). Consensus is to keep (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails to meet WP:N (both WP:BASIC and WP:AUTHOR), entry fails WP:RS. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 09:58, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Does show how easy it can be to get money out of people... Appears to be self-published, although I can't find evidence yet. It's not easy to pin the book down, unless I'm going wrong somewhere. All in all, blogging is blogging, even when crowd-funded. Willing to change my mind, as always.

- Weak Keep, Seems like he's slightly more notable than the average blogger, perhaps even enough so that he warrants his own page.JoelWhy (talk) 13:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete agree with notability concerns. Subject seems to have written significantly more articles than articles were written about him. There is little notable details of biographical value. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 02:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Chris was the original crowd-funded blogger, and was the inspiration for many other projects, such as spot.us. He is now bureau chief for Reuters in Pakistan, and a notable journalist in his own right. -- Fuzheado | Talk 07:27, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
