[edit] List of webcomics

• Delete by WP:NOT a web directory. Unmaintainble and liable to be POV. Tony Bruguier 04:14, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Beyond that, I will assume good faith. Snowspinner 04:17, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Why do you have to point out that you are assuming good faith? Couldn't you just do it? Gamaliel 04:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

He probably wasn't making the assumtion to have good faith, but rather was assuming a position of good faith.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  06:17, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I will also assume the position. :-P Keep. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep. There are plenty of examples of unmaintainable lists. This is not one of them. This is very well-maintained with clear and strong guidelines for inclusion/exclusion and provides more useful information than a category. I don't understand how this can be possibly POV. Gamaliel 04:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I completely agree with Gamaliel. It's a list, with inclusion dependent only on the listed webcomic being notable enough for its own article; I don't see how there's any room for POV-pushing, and it is well-maintained. αγδεε (ε τ c) 04:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
  • If it's a list limited to WP articles then it should be a category instead —Wahoofive (talk) 05:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is useful (it has information that is not in Category:Webcomics), it is well-maintained (it's often edited 3 or 4 times a day), and it is NPOV (the comic titles, authors, and start/end dates are all verifiable facts). Note that this is the second time this article has been nominated for deletion (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of web comics); the first time ended with 9 keeps, 1 neutral, and 1 delete (the nominator).

• Keep This is a good and useful list for people who are wishing to research the webcomic community. There is no need to delete it. People who dont read webcomics need to stop putting webcomic-related articles up for deletion; the information is very useful to many people. Jfreedan 08:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Gamaliel. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Per everybody it seems. The Minister of War 09:59, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep.--Pamri • Talk 10:45, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Clearly not a list of websites. A list of notable, Wikipedia blue link topics, with their websites as extar information. An excellent, and well looked-after, list. Deleting this would set a very, very bad precedent. Batmanand 12:23, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Gamaliel. DenisMoskowitz 14:18, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep As per the arguments here and on the previous deletion nomination. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 14:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The following is quoted from the article: "Only webcomics which have a Wikipedia article are listed below. Webcomics without a Wikipedia article will be removed from the list." I see this as a reasonable way to keep the contents notable and verifiable. If this were a totally open-ended list with no inclusion criteria at all, I'd vote to delete as unmaintainable/unencyclopedic. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:04, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep! Only notable comics are in the list, and it provides more information than the category. --Optichan 16:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete listcruft.--Isotope23 20:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep What the hell with the AfD nomination! It may get spamed everyday, but it been well maintained.--Kiba 21:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per everyone. Tedzsee 03:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as per previously mentioned "keep" rationale.Nobody 05:59, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons mentioned above - this entry sums up referrals to Wikipedia entries on the broad, publicly interested, often researched area of webcomics. As such it is a useful reference tool and should not be deleted as non-encyclopedic. --Polymeron 01:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Anon vote by 217.132.220.17, not Polymeron. αγδεε (ε τ c) 10:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per above. As a side note, I keep seeing individiual web comics listed on the AfD pages with the justification being that they should be included on the List of Web Comics topic. Now someone wants to delete the List topic. Makes no sense. Jtmichcock 10:29, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful and well-maintained. Nothing POV about it as written. -- SCZenz 18:45, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Well-maintained, and a good reference. Catnik 02:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Criteria that keep it maintainable and resonable, has commentary that isn't possible in a category. As for the spam, well, that's what rollbacks are for. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 05:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: this nomination is deletioncruft. —Phil | Talk 10:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Valid list. Edit out any webcomics that you feel don't belong, not the whole entry on webcomics.DetectiveFork 17:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful and Maintainable List TastemyHouse 22:19, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. List of specific and narrow scope. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 22:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep as well as all entries related to webcomics in general. (vote added by 24.35.56.234)
