One of many people to lose their job over offensive personal blog postings. Does it suck? Yes. Is this particular case notable? Not really. Richfife 03:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep - Did a search and he seems at least a bit notable--SUIT 04:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and add more references --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 04:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Recentism that isn't truely WP:Notable. /Blaxthos 05:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Does being the subject of a news story mean notability? I don't believe so. Googling "Matt Donegan" + "Dover Post" + fired = 277 results, and most of them are blogs (not surprisingly). Croxley 06:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. More references are needed. StaticElectric 07:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Non-notable person fired for blogging, only real claim to fame was appearning on the local news (which is not notable). TJ Spyke 08:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete is ths realy the srt of thing for bein on here? not notable enough--Zedco 10:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as breathless overdramatization of local minutiae. All eyes are watching to see what happens in the final analysis! -- Dhartung | Talk 11:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nom and Blaxthos. -- P199 16:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Many employers in the United States can fire somebody for any reason - including no reason. If this person has, in a legal action, been the subject of a case that set a precedent for blog posts in conjunction with employment, we'd have something. But not this. --Dennisthe2 01:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as it does not assert notablity per WP:BIO--Roswell native 03:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not notable enough. Article is primarily the work of single-use accounts to push POV after the firing. Should have been caught and deleted a year ago. --Seattle Skier (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The NBC 10 article is the only active, reliable, non-trivial link. I think a standard of "precedent-setting legislation" is unreasonably high, but this article does not even meet the common/general/primary requirement of at least 2 independent, reliable, non-trivial sources. -- Black Falcon 06:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
