Xiaxue - Singapore's top blogger. Claims to notability:
Does your encyclopedia list bloggers, too?

I completely fail to see what's so magic in "encyclopedias" that they must not list bloggers or actresses. Specially when they are not bound by the limits of the paper.
I'm completely uninterested by Ms. Chen Liping or Mr. Xiaxue but the fact they have an article does not change anything for the articles which do interest me. So, they are not a problem.
Let's go back to the original issue: "non-notability" is used way too much and it is strongly biased towards a particular country (nobody suggested to delete [[en:Julia Stiles]] or [[en:Elizabeth Mitchell]]). And there was never strong reasons given *why* useless articles should be deleted. Because they take hard disk space?
