I would debate whether David Farrar is an "important" blogger or commentator. If we continue to allow this Wikipedia will be clogged to it's knees with every blogger and his dog having an article. I can think off the top of my head around 5 NZ commentators who have been on TV, have blogs but do not have Wikipedia articles (often deleted for questionable notability). I would also question the tone of this article as it's almost a verbatim of DPF's bio he wrote for Kiwiblog. Bactoid 10:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
The blogosphere has recently erupted in debate regarding Kiwiblog. There have been accusations of leftist posters being censored and banned for expressing opinions that don't follow the blog's centre-right theme. There is also talk of a significant link between DPF and the National Party with many now thinking of Kiwiblog as the unofficial blog of the National Party. I think this should be highlighted along with some other changes as right now it is showing some bias. There are also exerts that are verbatim from DPF's own personal bio he has written on the blog. I suggest expanding upon the Kiwiblog stuff at the beginning of the article putting it under it's own heading. It should express some general facts such as how long it's been running for, it's recent popularity and the introduction of moderation including the accusations of censorship.

Can we add something about David's personal life? Is he married, dating or still available? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anaheraangel ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
I am "still available" and the situation is no longer "complicated" :-) DPF ( talk) 07:00, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to David Farrar (blogger) as per general consensus. Everyone who supported the move as proposed also supported this title.( non-admin closure) Red Slash 07:27, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

David Farrar (political activist) – I suggest we rename this article to bring it in line with naming conventions for people as per
WP:NCPDAB, where it says: "the disambiguator is usually a noun indicating what the person is noted for being." The problem with Farrar is that he's noted for not just one thing, and that appears to be the sentiment behind the 2006 renaming request. I'm not set on "political activist" at all and suggest that the previous dab "blogger" is a contender, too. He is certainly noted for being a blogger. --Relisted.
