[edit] Sordid City Blues

Sordid City Blues (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article's assertion of the comic's notability is a nomination for an award, which previous consensus in the Webcomics project would say that it fails WP:WEB. Article was previously deleted in a nomination a year ago (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sordid City Blues). Contested prod. Brad Beattie (talk) 13:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Absolutely nothing has changed since the last AFD nomination. A WCCA nomination is about as notable as being a finalist of the Miss East Yorkshire pageant. It's on "hiatus" until the January so its Alexa rank has slipped into the millions. We need to watch webcomic nominations more closely, or we'll end up with incredible results like the Keep at Dresden Codak because it was mentioned in passing, in blogs, and once on a daily link zeitgeist. What crap. - hahnchen 16:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Can this not be speedy deleted as previously deleted material?--Dmz5 00:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I tried to prod it earlier based on the precedent that we've established in previous AFDs, but the prod was removed. Instead of starting a mini-war, I figured it would be best to bring here. There's no harm in the process taking a few days longer if it establishes a clear consensus. --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Speaking as the author, I neither wrote this wiki not moved it from Comixpedia to Wikipedia. I would be slightly sad if it were deleted, but I'm very annoyed that someone deleted my deletion notice - it makes me look pathetic. I'd just as soon you axe the thing so I can stop thinking about it. Seriously, I think my web comic is fabulous (of course I do), but it had about 500 readers when I was updating it regularly. I haven't even read the deletion guidelines, but it notability is at issue, I don't think I have it.--User:MisterWolf
  • Comment: I was the user who copied over the content from Comixpedia. Original motivation was noticing a red link to it somewhere (can't find any notable ones any more). Heck, if this was going on my opinion of the comic there wouldn't be a question here, but yeah it currently fails the notability guidelines. I'll be sorry to see it go, but can't currently see any good enough reasons for it to be kept here. I'll copy over all the recent changes back to Comixpedia so we've at least gained a few improvements over there for future reference if it achieves the notability guidelines at a later date.

• Delete - Fails WP:V and WP:RS and thus fails WP:WEB. --Quirex 02:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
