Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Pierce
WP:BIO states as a criterion for inclusion: "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person."  It continues, "This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles..." etc. Pierce meets that criterion. A quick search of the Dow Jones/Reuters Factiva service shows Pierce has been the subject of articles from the ''New York Times'' (27 May 2004) (followed by an echo to the ''Times''-owned ''Int'l Herald Tribune'' on 29 May); Reuters (10 July 2004); ''Straits Times'' (Singapore) (5 March 2006); ''Reforma'' (Mexico City) (2 April 2006); ''EL PAIS'' (Madrid) (20 April 2006); ''Los Angeles Times'' (16 October 2003, 27 Feb 2003, 12 July 2004, others); ''Le Monde'' (25 June 2005); and others.  The search string was (Tony Pierce AND blog), and the variety of citation shows that some regard "just blogging" to be sufficient for notability, if one is widely enough known for it (just as one could become widely known for such synonyms "writing a diary", "writing a journal", "writing essays", etc.).  A campaign to edit the phenomenon of blogging out of Wikipedia, when it is clearly observable in everyday life, could be considered a violation of  through overly aggressive editing out of known facts
