- They are not reliable sources, because anyone can put anything in a blog. Wikipedia:Reliable sources: "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." JohnCD (talk) 20:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is what it says under the notability article "The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster" with the exception of personal blogs, Cuteable.com is not a personal blog, but run by a company called TS Fifteen Ltd.

- Delete as SPAM - I'd got this wrong, I thought it was a web-site, it's actually a business selling custom-made soft toys. Apart from notability, this looks to me like advertisement, and we have problems with conflict of interest - proprietor of the business is Annie Snyder, article author is Pachannie (talk · contribs) who is an SPA (no edits on any other subject), on Thisnext.com it is "first recommended by Pachannie". Wikipedia is not for promoting your own business. JohnCD (talk) 21:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand how it is a conflict of interest if everything I have listed is a fact. I'll take off the thisnext review, but it was reviewed by another person as well. 204.146.162.32 (talk) 21:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)— 204.146.162.32 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Delete as soon as possible, please. I must say, I haven't seen more blatant advertising than this on Wikipedia. I hope that the contributor understands the difference between advertising and an encyclopedic article, but I have my doubts. Drmies (talk) 03:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
