[edit] Better Days (webcomic)

I created this page back in 2005, and was recently asked about it possibly being deleted, which I agree to. Nothing notable about the comic, although the Wikipedia page was mentioned on the author's website. Small number of google hits ([1]) Thunderbrand 18:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, while a furry, right-wing webcomic does sound like a lot of fun, it doesn't appear that there are many reliable, independent sources available. Recury 20:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - enjoyable comic that I read regularly, but inherently not notable in the grand scheme of things. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Yeah, I tagged this as unsourced and lacking importance. If the influx of visitors from Wikipedia was noticed, then it can't really have been that popular to begin with. - Hahnchen 23:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - I had no idea what Better Days was when a friend mentioned it in a blog post. This entry was the first hit in when I googled it, and I found it very useful. I may be a fringe case, but I'm happy that it was there when I needed the info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.230.104.80 (talk • contribs).
• Could this be transcluded to Comixpedia? Not enough evidence of notability as far as I could tell. delete possibly after transclusion. ++Lar: t/c 21:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

As a side note, there is a page on this at Wikifur ([2]). Thunderbrand 21:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Comments on a webcomic toplist of which every single webcomic in the world seems to be on? Blogs? .net (magazine) (which is probably a better source than anything above combined) has just done a feature on the top 50 british blogs, not all of them are notable. Crushyiffdestroy? A link to a source so POV and unreliable that the editors decided it shouldn't feature in the article? We'll be citing ALODs next. - Hahnchen 02:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, blogs and webcomic top lists are not reliabel sources on which t0 base encyclopedia articles. -- Dragonfiend 19:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I am unable to see that an encyclopedia article can be written on this subject. —Encephalon 08:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
