Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blue Ribbon Comics

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was technically no consensus - with only two editors participating, relisting would be the normal course. But as Tenebrae has stubbed the article, which removes his first two concerns with the content, and seems to be fine with keeping the article for now judging by his last comment, there doesn't seem to be much point. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 23:45, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Ribbon Comics

Blue Ribbon Comics is simply a checklist of stories in a comic-book series, is done with HTML markup rather than wiki coding, and is contrary to policy Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information -- Tenebrae 20:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Although the article is atrociously written, that's not why we put things up for AfD. There's a precedent for Golden Age comics to be worthy of Wikipedia articles: see Comic Cavalcade, Phantom Lady, All Star Comics, Impact (comic), Blackhawk (comics), All-American Comics, Feature Funnies, Doll Man, Spider Widow, Black Fury, Marvel Boy, Yellow Claw, etc., etc. This one just needs to be overhauled. wikipediatrix 23:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Not a question of Golden Age worthiness; I created the All-Winners Squad and Mystic (comics) articles, among others. The Black Hood Comics article is simply annotated checklist with one sentence up top, and I can do no better than to quote knowledgeable fellow editor Chris Griswold who said in a discussion of this very thing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics: "Checklist-style listings of plots by issue are not valid for inclusion in WP:CMC artic. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There are other sources and wikis for information such as that." Remove the checklist, and this is less than a stub.-- Tenebrae 00:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

If there's general approval of the way I freeze-dried and condensed the checklist information into a more concise and functional article on Black Hood Comics, the same can be done to this one. wikipediatrix 00:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I admire you for wanting to do the work. This had looked to me like a case of better to demolish the house and rebuild it with a better foundation and materials than to try and refurbish. But yeah, if you think you can do it, I'm in your corner and I'll go in later to do what I can. -- Tenebrae 16:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
