Prod contested with "Seems to be a well known furry comic". Article is about a Furry comic but it makes no claim to notability and does not appear to be able to substain enough (or any) reliable sources for verifiability and notability. Also clearly fails the attribution policy. The article has been tagged for sources for several months now. NeoFreak 23:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep Long-running print comic. Notable artist, notable writer, fairly notable publisher. Needs sources though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Question. Do you have any realible sources to back those assertions? NeoFreak 00:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Mary Fleener wrote a review of it in The Comics Journal for their "Women in Comics" issue. As for longevity, it's reached 34 issues in 14 years, as well as several annuals and an adult spinoff title. Also, though I dunno how much this counts for, it's apparently in the Michigan State University Libraries comic art collection: ( link )Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep A print comic title that's had three publishers (Antarctic Press, Vision Comics, and Shanda Fantasy Arts), three dozen issues (plus annuals, specials, and spinoffs), and has a notable writer and artist most likely has reliable sources via industry publications, even if they're not online. One online source I did find was ComicBookNet's e-magazine, which called it a "key title" of Shanda Fantasy Arts [1] -- one of two, the other being Shanda the Panda. Current article appears to be sourced from the webpage, and requires cleanup. Shimeru 06:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• KeepIt's a long-running comic with notable people behind it. (Third3rdIII 23:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC))
