List of blogs

This stand-alone list does not satisfy WP:CSC and I think Category:Blogs is satisfactory to prevent this from being indiscriminate. In this case, this is a list of blogs that satisfy the criteria of being notable on their own (there is no secondary source material we are basing this off, i.e. there is no secondary source that could solve the puzzle of whether something belongs here, other than whether or not it's a blog). If the blog listed here wasn't notable, it shouldn't have a separate page and thus shouldn't be listed here. If a blog is notable, it's in the category and this list is just the category in alphabetical order (or chronological or whatever order people come up with) without any further discriminating criteria. Otherwise this is really a list of "more notable than just notable blogs" as determined by WP:OR. Category:Blogs is over a 100 blogs in its main category (and hundreds more in subcategories such as Category:American blogs) for reference (all of which are presumed notable since an article about them exists here). The language, category and authors are also all unsourced which is not a reason for deletion but sourcing that will be just a re-hash of the details on each article's page and without that unsourced material, it's just a list that could be a category.
