WTF? We are practically accusing Harsha Bhogle to being Fake IPL player based on a /mailing list post/ that uses the fact that Harsha had good english skills. I'm sure there is some Wikipedia Policy against this. -- gja 59.92.173.168 ( talk) 07:06, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Agree with the above.. There's no proof that the writer is harsha... Le the wikipedian who put it there remove, else I'll do it.. Thanks for pointing out. Nitin ( talk) 08:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Adding anonymous emails as references to outrageous/unprovable statements is plain wrong--Spaceman7Spiff 16:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC).
Just saw the Speedy delete: The blog is pretty important, here's the google stats for it: [1]
And the google search results for it: [2]
I don't think it's unimportant....Page creator?

Agree with Spaceman above, this blog is a phenomenon by itself and is important enough to be recorded for its cultural importance. There are several media stories attesting to the fact that this blog is having a great impact on several domains at the same time - democratic mass media, cricket, whistle-blowing, brand building through the internet etc. -- Varun ( talk) 03:31, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Cannot understand why this needs to be deleted? This is about a blog that seems to be a "first" in india in this category. Nitin ( talk) 04:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
The "Ignore All Rules" page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules) says "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." While the Fake IPL Player may or may not be a member of KKR, but the blog itself is real. Saying the names does NOT violate the biographies of living persons. I am undoing (is that a word?) the edit removing the nicknames, and also added a clarifying statement.-- Ant80 ( talk) 19:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ant80 ( talk • contribs) 19:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
There have been some news articles I found that go through some of hte examples. Most of them are obvious because of the relation to the RL occurrences but unfortunately it would be a bit OR YellowMonkey ( cricket calendar poll!) 01:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
This is with reference to the Notability tag since April 2011. At its peak in summer 2009, this blog was at the centre of a storm in the cricketing world. There was media frenzy, public curiosity, and Kolkata Knight Riders were alleged to have dropped players suspected of being this blogger. Now the focus and notability has reduced, but not ended. Notability is partly apparent in the discussion on the talk page above, and in the references. This article has also survived AfD. Pending further discussion, propose to remove the notability tag in two days. (Aside: How come the page history doesn't show the addition of the notability tag? The history appears to end in May 2009.) VishalB ( talk) 15:27, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
