Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James D. Nicoll (2nd nomination)
another one, sorry)  Separate from the issue (possibly too broad for this AfD) of whether Wikipedia needs a complete overhaul of its attitude to online sources for online subjects, can someone explain to me what the perceived problem is under ?  The notability argument appears to have been conceded; this dispute is about reliable sources.  The "Using the subject as a self-published source" section of BLP says that material self-published by the subject is an acceptable source under a number of conditions (relevant to notability, not contentious, not self-serving, undisputed authorship and lack of claims about third parties).  http://james_nicoll.livejournal.com Nicoll's blog on LiveJournal appears to me to satisfy all of them.  I am genuinely interested to know what the problem is.  (I have checked the history; these guidelines were present in BLP at the time this article was nominated for deletion
