Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is non-notable web content that has no third party reliable sources. 16x9 (talk) 18:55, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Online quizzes per the lack of reliable sources to establish the independent notability of this topic. A Google News Archive search and a Google Books search return no related results. I have scrolled through the first seven pages of a Google search and have been unable to find any significant sources. A brief mention in Online quizzes (which appears to be a notable topic) is likely the best option. Cunard (talk) 19:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment If no reliable sources are found (or mentions for that matter) mean this article is made up. There is not much content to merge.  16x9 (talk) 19:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply: The topic exists (it's used by a number of journalists from The New York Times). A brief (one-sentence) mention in Online quizzes should be sufficient. Cunard (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Merge If it was discussed by many journalists from the NYT it is notable. DGG (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment- The word/concept was not discussed by journalist. Two journalist mention the phrase "blog quiz" in a post nothing about what it is, where it came from, nothing to be able to write a wikipedia article on.  16x9 (talk) 20:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * you;re right, changed to merge. DGG (talk) 02:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and/or redirect to Online quizzes. There are some sporadic mentions by a few reliable sources, but I am not convinced there is enough source material to write a reasonable article from.  Given that, the best option would be to merge and redirect to the more inclusive topic, until such time as enough source material can be gathered to support a seperate article.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  20:41, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect per Cunard/Jayron32. At best, this is a dictionary definition, at worst its a non-notable neologism and original research. Either way its not an acceptable article. Mr.Z-man 20:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per Jayron32. I see no evidence that this is an important enough phenomenon to separate out from online quizzes; it's just an online quiz on a particular form of website. Rd232 talk 13:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Question - If it were merged to Online quizzes how would it read? something like Some call/another name for is Blog quiz.  because I can find no source that says that, just a few that mention blog quiz (leaving the reader to determine the definition). 16x9 (talk) 22:37, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've merged some basic content to Online quizzes. Though I can find nothing that specifically mentions the definition of "blog quiz", the information I merged just states that blog quizzes exist. I added a sentence about how blog quizzes may be about a wide range of topics, including verbs. I used this blog as a source for that statement. It should be an acceptable sources per WP:SPS, since "[l]ongtime N&O journalist Pam Nelson" (a journalist from the The News & Observer) is a credible source. Her blog is "produced by an established expert on the topic of the article". Cunard (talk) 01:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
