[edit] 21st Century Fox
Article asserts no notability for the comic, nor was I able to find any. Google returns roughly 50 results for "21st Century Fox: Romantic Comedy of the Future" -wikipedia, suggesting a lack of notability. The comic's website makes no claims to having won awards or having published any materials. As far as I can see, this comic fails WP:WEB. Delete. Brad Beattie (talk) 09:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Put down per nom. Fails WP:WEB. MER-C 12:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Doesn't seem to meet WP:V/WP:WEB. Also, chock full of OR and unencyclopedic language... Wickethewok 19:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Definitely could use some cleanup. It's a relatively long-running regular comic, though (since 1999), and a search without the subtitle turns up better results. Suspect a case can be made for it. Shimeru 22:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Searching for "21st century fox" comic -wikipedia brought up roughly 700 hits. Still fairly low. --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect to 20th Century Fox. The webcomic is not notable, but this does happen to be an alternative name that 20th Century Fox has used. --- RockMFR 02:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed that a lot of reasonably long - running webcomics, with good art, have been up for deletion in recent months. Any idea what the cause of the trend is? Examples: TwoKinds(Averages about 6th on TopWebComics), 21Cf, Alien Dice(Keenspot) Bob and George, Zap!, Catharsis, Better Days... Does something have a grudge or something? And this while comics such as God mode are on the list, despite having no wikipedia page. 86.137.97.67 17:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete — Yet another webcomic - fails notability standards. Redirect per RockMFR. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 00:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - Comic mentions cameos of several other notable webcomics. I assume these cameos were made with permission? References from other notable webcomics would make this notable (it's why I try to note other webcomics that have referenced a given comic), the same way an obscure book being referenced by a notable book is made more notable by the reference.

- Comment - I managed to find at least three references to this comic by others, Freefall and Suburban Jungle being two notable comics. Since this comic is notable enough to be referenced by two other notable comics, that strengthens the argument for keep. Xuanwu 08:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
