[edit] The Flip Side
Non-notable webcomic, likely WP:COI issues. Danny Lilithborne 09:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Who cares if it's "non-notable" several people care about the webcomic and are wondering about its whereabouts and still want to read the comics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BaracudaAgent (talk • contribs).
- Comment WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid Keep reason. Danny Lilithborne 09:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
The author wants it to be kept so that he can have a database of his work on WikiPedia. He commented that if it gets noticed more he may continue the series and that's what we've wanted for the series.
We are not doing this for publicity, we are doing this because Wikipedia is a valuable database and he wants it here so that he can have his work be remembered. Not necessarily for publicity. Sorry for the misunderstanding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BaracudaAgent (talk • contribs) 17:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC).

- Comment You're contradicting yourself. "having his work be remembered publicly" is the definition of publicity (the definition in the article says "managing the public's perception of a subject", and getting it noticed more is modify the public perception).

- Comment Wikipedia is not a free public database or webhost! And is certainly not a tool to get noticed! (That's called "spamming".) Wikipedia is an encyclopedia! And the author's wishes are immaterial. If he wants a database of his work, he should set up his own database or find a free public database, and not abuse Wikipedia for storing inappropriate material! There's always MySpace or the Internet Archive. Xtifr tälk 10:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Userfy - there is no assertion of notability. This borders on speedy deletion territory. B.Wind 09:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Userfication to a user page (subpages are OK) is not an option because it then becomes speedily deletable spam. MER-C 12:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Delete per nom and per supporters clear admission that these articles were not created with the intent of improving Wikipedia, but were intended as promotional material. Do not userfy, as there is no indication that this topic will ever be encyclopedia-worthy, and user-space is not provided as a free public database; it is provided to help improve Wikipedia!

- Speedy delete - no assertion of notability. So tagged. MER-C 12:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete The text of the article, insofar as it relates to the author's views,--Anthony.bradbury 18:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC) does not appear wholly to agree with the supporting views expressed here. But clearly non-notable promotional material.
- Delete, no assertion of notability, no verified information from third-party reputable sources, Wikipedia is not an internet guide. -- Dragonfiend 21:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
