Update: Wikipedia editors are again considering to delete the shocklog entry. Interesting remark is this context is their suspicion of 'foreign language' blogs being involved as references. But who is foreign in this case? English for those write Dutch? Or Dutch for those know only English? Interesting to see how Larry Singer's Citizendium is putting pressure on Wikipedia to get rid of 'neologisms' and barbarian non-Anglo knowledge... Best, Geert

An editor has nominated the article Shocklog for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shocklog. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Shocklog during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

Merge with Blog, as a "Shocklog" is a type of blog. Flakeloaf 04:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC) Delete Lacks sources demonstration sufficient use to satisfy WP:NEO. Sources consist of a couple of foreign-language blogs and an on-line Master's thesis.
