Article about an online directory, "referenced" only to a Q&A interview with its founder on a WordPress blog. As always, websites like this are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- they need to be the subject of enough coverage in reliable sources (not blogs) to clear WP:GNG, but there's no evidence that this is. And for added bonus, the person named in the infobox as the site's managing editor is also simultaneously listed as a contributor to the blog, which means that the blog isn't even fully independent of the article subject.
