Across the Bay
Completely non-notable blog, no sources. I almost Csd'd it, but it claims to be "the first Lebanese blog" so I am listing on Afd. KillerChihuahua 13:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Speedy Delete, no assertion of notability, A7. I don't see anything about a "first Lebanese blog" myself, but I'd figure that a genuine "first" Lebanese blog would be written in French, myself. The Alexa rank is over 4.5 million.However, I'm not so sure after digging a bit deeper through Google. Surprisingly for such a poor Alexa ranking, a directed Google search turns up a lot of hits; this blog is quoted in a lot of places and on some serious sites. This fellow sounds genuinely respected.

- Keep but it really needs some cites -KC's point is well taken. Here's a cut and paste I posted from a disscusion re: Badran as a source from Talk:Juan Cole.
- "Actually, maybe we should hold on a sec re: Badran. A google search shows independent sources identifying Tony Badran as author of "Across the Bay" , he's got some fairly heavy hitting endorsers listed on his blog Paul Berman, Martin Kramer, Reason (magazine) editors Michael Young and Charles Paul Freund, and he is an "Research Fellow, Levant" at The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. I don't know if the fact that his PhD is "pending" is the only salient point here." Armon 18:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per above. It's tagged for needing sources etc, so let's see what happens. --BrownHairedGirl 18:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Misplaced Pages is not a web directory. KleenupKrew 20:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Weak delete per KleenupKrew, but it might be the first Lebanese blog. That's too hard to verify, however. M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
