This article had been changed by Chriswaterguy on 24 August 2011 from its previous emanation as a site description of autoblog.com to a general interest article regarding the practice of autoblogging. This change followed a two-year notability tag question as well as a four-year request for additional citations.

I removed discussion postings previous to this change to avoid confusion about what article topic is being addressed. --Hcidem (talk) 12:15, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change this site back to a description of Autoblog.com

Now that an article for Autoblog.com has been created that clearly establishes its notability, we should change this article back to a description of that website. With 2.4M visitors, each month, Autoblog.com is the more widely-used application for this name than the application involving automated blogs. If you click on "What links here," you will see that the vast majority of linked pages think they are linking to the Autoblog.com article. Of course, the new article would start with a hatnote link to the current content of this article, which would be renamed "Autoblog (automated blog)" or something along those lines. Thoughts?

Alternatively, if the spammy type of blog is considered to be a notable usage of "autoblog" then this page can either be an disambiguation, or it can stay as it is with a hatnote dab to Autoblog.com.

The spammy kind of article is the usage I'm familiar with, but I'm happy to go with a group decision. --Chriswaterguy talk 05:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the biggest reason I want this page to be about Autoblog.com is because, if it were, I would not have to go back and correct all the pages that link here, thinking they are linking to Autoblog.com. There are more than 100 wikilinks that need to be corrected. However, in the big picture, I don't suppose laziness is a good reason to make editing decisions. I'd be happy with a disambiguation page.
