LewRockwell.com

A largely self-sourced article on Lew Rockwell's website. Rockwell is notable, is his site independently notable? Doesn't look it to me. Guy (Help!) 11:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article notes that the page "disclaims" it is no longer associated with Lew Rockwell - it is not his site, (may make it less notable). BananaFiend (talk) 12:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, thanks, Guy, but there is plenty of independent notability. I added two reliable sources just now. To a degree a bit of self-pub would be allowed to permit a brief paragraph on LRC's positions, and that paragraph is currently too long, but aside from that the contributors list alone is a showcase of notables.

Merge with Lew Rockwell. Even if the site doesn't necessarily represent his positions all the time he's still inextricably tied in to the site and as I understand it he does a lot of editorial and writing work for it. The article needs some work but there is good stuff in there--I would hate to see someones efforts disappear. Iamblessed (talk) 17:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, website is independently notable. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you say so? It might be, but it's better to provide evidence instead of simply asserting it. Raymond Arritt (talk) 17:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This Google text string search for "lewrockwell.com" yields about a quarter of a million hits. Thousands of these represent indications of notability. It is likely the most noted and widely read libertarian website on earth. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. These things aren't always obvious to those of us who don't live in the political world. Raymond Arritt (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge i see no indications for notability in the article, and while there may be alot of Google hits, i found that most of these where either links or blogs (and a large combo of those). Where is the independent coverage of it? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 18:54, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Rockwell and his web site are effectively the same topic. I can't think of anything you could say about LewRockwell.com that would not be relevant to the article about Lew Rockwell. NCdave (talk) 19:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. LewRockwell.com is a long established site which publishes original content six days a week. It's not a one-man operation. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 19:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. LRC was built by Lew Rockwell, but there are multiple individuals who assist in editorial matters and post content independently. LRC is not merely a germane detail in discussions of Rockwell, but rather an independently notable entity which merits independent coverage. DickClarkMises (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Lew Rockwell - there just isn't enough meaningful content to warrant two separate articles at present. MastCell ^Talk 22:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
