The result was delete. Wickethewok 14:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fails the same criteria in WP:WEB as another article under consideration, Abstract Gender. No assertions of notability or sources. Diagonalfish 02:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Google search. --Mysmartmouth 03:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No Alexa ranking, no third party mentions to be found anywhere, and 28 unique links, none of which are notable. The comic doesn't meet criteria in WP:WEB, and the lack of reliable sources leaves it as unverifiable. --Wafulz 03:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unverifiable through third-party reliable sources, WP:NOT an internet guide. -- Dragonfiend 04:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is one of the most popular webcomics, according to The Webcomic List, which also contains a lot of reviews by the websites users. --ISD 07:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Has that site got measures in place to stop comic creators from giving good reviews to their own creations or artificially increasing their number of perceived visitors? - Mgm|(talk) 10:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- A creator is aloud to post up their own webcomic, but I believe that it was not the case with this one. According to the website, "The ranking algorithm works by considering the number of visits per update. We do this to ensure that popular comics that update infrequently get a fair ranking. Certain other things are taken into consideration when doing comic rankings but we would prefer to keep those secret."[1] ISD
- Delete. Fails WP:WEB, simple as that. Batmanand | Talk 10:16, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom and User:Batman. Exterminatus the article Now. Anomo 15:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - No assertion of notability. It's hosted on Comic Genesis, a free web host, even ranking at 7 on that site is meaningless, as the entire free host only manages an Alexa ranking of 8000. This doesn't even beging to touch upon the popularity or notability of such websites such as Soompi or Encyclopedia Dramatica. - Hahnchen 16:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete; fails WP:WEB, WP:V, WP:RS. We do not have a "keep per Google search" policy or guideline at the present time, nor is The Webcomic List mentioned anywhere in existing policies or guidelines. ergot 14:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or change policy. Hosted on Comic Genises, a site causing it to pass WP:WEB #3 - "The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." Non-trival due to review process of CG. I want to delete this, but... policy overrules that. Only when I'm trying to make a point, and that point is that wikipoilicy should really be concidered guidelines... --71.98.25.209 02:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comic Genesis is not "well known." -- Dragonfiend 03:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- As a matter of fact, I've seen "hosted on Comic Genesis" used as an argument to delete more than a few times. ergot 13:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
