[edit] San: Three Kingdoms Comic

Non notable multilanguage webcomic, can be seen here in its english form (which is the primary site). The domain on which the comic is hosted attains an Alexa rank of 800,000 and their forums house 6 members. A google search for "three kingdoms comic" or for "三國漫畫" bring back no decent sources (professional reviews, commentary etc). - Hahnchen 00:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep First of all, the first return of the search 'Three Kingdoms Comic' comes up with the site www.shiji.cc/san/ which happens to be the former place of the comic. Secondly, do you expect there to be a multitude of members in the first few days of a forum being up? Obviously it will take some time to get more members than 3-4 days.
• Keep It's actually very popular amongst its target audience and is far from a "non notable" webcomic. I suggest looking for some web traffic stats before doing something like "deleting" when Wiki has many more less notable and less factual entries listed. If you choose to delete, then at least keep it on a list of webcomics. They don't need help advertising, but I see no good reason to delete given the comic's high readership for being "unnotable."

  • Comment - My apologies for misplacing the Alexa link (now corrected). Also note that the Alexa rank for the old domain www.shiji.cc is unranked. The reason there are less notable and less factual entries for webcomics at Wikipedia, is because the webcomic community think anything is notable if they're a fan of it. I would nominate and delete more, but right now I'm busy with work and my internet connection has regressed to 56k. - Hahnchen 02:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
