[edit] The Adventures of Fifine

A furry webcomic, seen here. For a website that has been online since 1999, it gets a surprisingly little amount of Google hits, 34 of them. None of those hits are reliable sources on which to base a Wikipedia article. The comic is hosted on a furry webcomic site, purrsia, which has an Alexa rank of 80,000, but you'll see from that link that the majority of hits to that domain name are to the comic Freefall (webcomic). Not a notable website, lacking reliable sources. - Hahnchen 00:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - Every couple of months I do a sweep of the webcomics category. I probably couldn't keep up this rate of nominations indefinitely, and I lose interest anyway. I'd certainly welcome more people to look over the Webcomics category. - Hahnchen 00:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. No, it's housekeeping for nonnotable webcomics. There's a difference between some random webcomic and Kazu Kibuishi's Copper, for example. The latter's been nominated for an Eisner and won other various awards. --ColourBurst 04:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: The webcomics category is filled and constantly refilled with unreferenced and unverified vanispamcruftisement. Thank you, Hahnchen, for helping clean up this encyclopedia. -- Dragonfiend 03:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: The article provides no indication that this particular comic is widely viewed, and independent assessment indicates few links to it (what Google measures). Therefore, the world isn't wondering what it is, and our readers aren't seeking an explanation. The fact that it is a webcomic is irrelevant: it is a web comic that doesn't have a claim to fame other than persistence. Old age is not a testimonial. Geogre 02:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, does not meet our content policies, starting with WP:V. -- Dragonfiend 03:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: The comic has several printed books, meeting notability requirements. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: "Printed books" by themselves do not confer notability; self-publishing, for example, doesn't make it more notable. If you get picked up by a notable publisher, such as Dark Horse comics or Scholastic Press, that's a different story. --ColourBurst 06:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
