[edit] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Darrenhusted (talk) 15:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Is a blog, as shown by the list of months down the bottom of the front page. It fails ELNO 1 because it does not provide any extra information that is not in the article. It fails ELNO 4 because by adding any "fan" links to that page can bee seen as an effort to funnel view to that page (and the words "Original fansite" are slightly meaningless). It fails ELNO 11 because it is a blog, and simply reprints information from elsewhere. As for "meritable", it is from the nutshell form EL, "This page in a nutshell: External links to an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article.", creating a section with a linkfarm to blogs would be in direct violation of things being "kept minimal".
