Thanks for your message, if you read through this list you'll find the details of the criteria for notability. In general, anyone notable will have multiple mentions in newspapers, magazines, or other reliable publications. Blogs in general, as mentioned, are not considered reliable sources, especially with consideration to one of the core policies of Wikipedia, neutrality. Additionally, the concerns of your conflict of interest still stand, "COI editing often involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself or the interests of other individuals, companies, or groups. When an editor disregards the aims of Wikipedia to advance outside interests, they stand in a conflict." If you are notable enough, someone else will likely create (or request) an article about you. Hope that clears things up! ^Ariel♥Gold 03:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
