[edit] JesusMan

del obscure, nonnotable, nonverifiable. "JesusMan" + webcomic 20 google hits. Produced by nonnotable Rubbersuit Studios.mikka (t) 14:44, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Again I ask what is needed for verification? This comic has been published fairly extensively in the North East US, and has recently coverted to the web. Again, being the one of the comics creators, I say don't delete. 16:50, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There are articles for even less notable webcomics than this one. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:45, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Could you give me a list so I can check them against the Wikiproject Webcomics criteria and list those that fail for deletion? --Carnildo 21:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails the inclusion guidelines for WikiProject Webcomics.. Alexa gives no ranking information for the entire hosting domain, and as far as I can tell, it's only got 18 strips. --Carnildo 21:23, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I stand corrected. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
• Thanks for the imput. For a bit of "explantion" the site is only 6 months old. JesusMan has been published in several alternative and undergroung magazines in MA, on and odd since 1987. Myself and Hex have begun the series anew on the net. It will have 100 pages by the end of the year. Your choice, again I was shocked when a fan pointed out that Rubbersuit Studios was listed here, so I just took the next step. Thanks again for the intro for this WikiNoob. 22:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC) Malach
• Question would it be within Wiki's webcomic guidlines to list Stool Sample Webcomics, which is a subdirectory of [[Rubbersuit Studios], which contains 6+ original webcomics and is close to 100 pages? I would list it as Stool Sample WebComics, and a description of each title 15:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)~ Malach
  • I'd suggest waiting. Once your comics become popular enough, someone, probably a fan, will get around to writing up a Wikipedia article for it. --Carnildo 18:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Carnildo, that is the main issue I have. I am not the one who put Rubbersuit Studios in Wiki. A fan pointed it out to me that someone had added it here. I thought it would be the next logical step to add JesusMan. JesusMan does not have a ton of fans from the web site but it was very popular in hard print. Anyways thanks again for the critcism.

• Keep. The so called "inclusion guidelines" are a proposal, nothing more. If Malach did not write the article himself, he is not self promoting. He has the minimum 3 month traffic anyhow. This seems more like censorship. Perhaps the title offends some of the supporters in the delete camp. It's not profane, it's not copywritten, and it was submitted by an outside party. I don't see the problem. Murk 12:15, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable, clearly vanity. Dragonfiend 16:10, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - points have been made already. Come back later. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:04, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. "Inclusion Guidelines" are a proposal. Malach did not write the article himself and is not self promoting. He has the minimum 3 month traffic. The webcomic is an example of pop-culture and can be referenced for artistic ideology. Myko 10:17, 02 August 2005 (UTC)
