The Adventures of Captain Jack (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced furry comic book stub that doesn't assert notability. The tone of the article is none too encyclopedic either. Delete, per WP:ATT and WP:N-K@ngie^meep! 00:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - on the assumption that anything published by Fantagraphics is pretty notable. Artw 00:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Lack of sources trumps any 'inherent notability'-K@ngie^meep! 01:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Published by a reputable, widely distributed publisher makes the book itself a reliable source, when simply describing the contents of the book. Makes it difficult to write a decent article though because you can't make interpretive claims without additional sources like reviews. --W.marsh 01:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Yet the article still lacks the multiple reliable sources required to be considered notable-K@ngie^meep! 02:15, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless reliable secondary sources are added asserting notability. WP:BK says nothing about the notability of the publisher conferring automatic notability onto its books. Krimpet (talk/review) 02:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not an individual book, it's a comic book series, one that was published by a major publisher and has since been collected in two trades, that to me says 'notable'.

I Am Not A Furry so I don't really know the best place to find the best references, but googling comes up with sufficient hits that, considering this was first published in the pre- and proto-web days, it must have been some kind of a big deal to somebody. With sufficient research it could probably be improved with a whole slew of references, so possibly keeping it and adding the appropriate templates would be a better course than deleting it?

Failing that merging and redirecting to Mike Kazaleh would be the best option. Artw 17:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep for the reasons stated above, also because the author, Mike Kazaleh, has gone on to some notability as an animator, working for Bakshi, Kricfalusi...I'm tired of furry, too, but for me this qualifies as 'funny animal' Rhinoracer 15:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Makes no assertion of WP:N and being published by a notable publisher does not confer notability - if it's worthy of an article then it should have some independent and verifiable claims of its own. Aticle is also devoid of reliable secondary sources per WP:ATT. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of comics and animation-related deletions. -- -- Ben 23:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless more reliable sources are added, then I may reconsider. Realkyhick 01:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
