Line 16:

::The topic has been the subject of three full news articles, two in [[Business Insider]] and one in BostInnovation (a RS, has editorial staff), as well as one full article in [[TechCrunch]] about a subsidiary event and then a whole host of minor mentions. That is significant coverage. [[User:Jorgenev|<font face="Lucida Console" color="black" size="1">'''JORGENEV'''</font>]] 14:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

:::To be significant coverage the sources also need to directly address the topic. [http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-17/tech/29973802_1_bros-auto-mechanic-facebook-terms 1] does have a few sentences of content which do this. [http://bostinnovation.com/2011/08/31/the-10-commandments-of-brogramming/ 2] and [http://www.businessinsider.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-learning-brogramming-the-hard-way-2011-9 3] (the video, not the text) are substantial but don't take the topic seriously – they seem to be primarily about providing humor and propagating the meme, not reporting on it – more like primary than secondary sources. [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204358004577028020203571342.html?mod=googlenews_wsj 3] provides less than one sentence of coverage. The remaining sources [http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-09-15/tech/30159050_1_engineers-facebook-break 4] [http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2011/08/mark-zuckerberg-pays-tribute-steve-jobs-best-he-can/41751/ 5] [http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/16/code-curls-girls/ 6] [http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/17/500-startups/ 7] merely use the word; they don't address the topic directly. --[[User:Pnm|Pnm]] ([[User talk:Pnm|talk]]) 17:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
