A non-notable blog and non-notable blogger. The article depends almost entirely on primary sources, suffers a poverty of reliable third-party coverage and hence does not meet the notability threshold. In addition, the page is orphaned and will likely remain so. [1] This blog receives only a bare mention in 3 or 4 online publications: Slate, [2] ocregister.com, and a brief nod in The Daily Telegraph (Australia) [3]. But the article stretches these sources well beyond breaking point. According to the site's own "about" page, "Deceiver.com is a project of Hat Tip Media". [4] There is not a single mention of "Hat Tip Media" anywhere on the Internet. [5] It would appear the proprietor of Deceiver.com (James Seaver, a.k.a. "Oversneer") has been busy promoting his blog all over the Internet, mostly in the comment section of other blogs, in an effort to push up its page rank. Deceive.com further solicited their readers to create this page here on Wikipedia, which they happily did, including a section to its very own online Shop. Interestingly and perhaps tellingly, the proprietor also nominated Deceiver.com for 4 "Blogger Choice Awards", but garnered zero support, receiving not a single vote. Best Gossip Blog: Deceiver.com = 0 votes [6]
