[edit] Associated Student Bodies

Associated Student Bodies (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Prodded by NeoFreak with reason "Article fails to assert any real notability and provides no reliable sources. Seems to be published by a non-notable and probable vanity press." Prod seconded by Serpent's Choice with reason "No independant coverage outside of a scant few forum posts; no distribution via major national distributor Diamond".

Although I suspect this AfD to go through, my opinion is still Keep. ASB is as influential, within the fandom, as any other adult comic - certainly more than Circles or Katmandu. 9240 Ghits for "ASB furry". But, I agree that it's not well-known outside the fandom and its detractors - the decision is yours. Tevildo 12:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep not sure I'd agree with it being as influential as Katmandu, but it's definitely a long-running paper comic and notable enough for an article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: I proded this article because, while some people might find this notable to their specific and small community it is not to the general populace. This is the definition of cruft. The article is even unable to prove that it is notable to the gay furry community as it has no reliable sources and so fails verifiability. This is a non-notable amateur comic book that claims to have a very small niche and it is unable to support an encyclopedic article. The place for this is a personal website or private wiki such as wikifur. NeoFreak 15:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm not able to support or refute claims that this comic was influential, or even known. I'm unable to find any review of it online outside of forums posts. It was never offered in Diamond Comic Distributors's Previews, virtually ensuring it had no national distribution to US comic stores (indeed, while experience is not a measure of verifiability here, I worked in the comics retail industry for almost a decade and no distributor we worked with ever offered this for shipment or sale). Even things like Rhudiprrt: Prince of Fur saw Diamond distribution. I have no doubts this series was important to some people; I have no doubts that it inspired later works. But my doubts or lack thereof don't matter -- verifiable references from reliable sources do, and ASB doesn't seem to ave those. Serpent's Choice 05:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
