Stubby, non-notable, does not meet web comic guidelines. WikiSpam. — Gwalla | Talk 21:08, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. Traffic is low, true, but it seems to be critically acclaimed, and some of the print appearances seem notable. —Triskaideka 22:50, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • comment: The print appearances do make a case for it. I'm not sure a review by Comixpedia should count for much; they'll review just about any webcomic. — Gwalla | Talk 23:25, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
      • True, but my point was that it was a positive review. Anytime I hear anyone talk about this comic, especially other web comic authors, they're praising it. That's the main reason I think we should keep the article. I've revised it a bit, hopefully it's more encyclopedic now. —Triskaideka 15:29, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak delete: If we keep, it should go to cleanup. The article is, right now, a tease for the website. Needs to be NPOV and have more than this. It's on the basis of advertising that I want to delete it, but it's weak advertising and a weak delete vote. Geogre 00:30, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm familiar with this comic through a few distinct sources despite having no interest whatever in it, I think that qualifies it. Could use some cleaning up, though. -- Ian Maxwell, 2004 Aug 13, 05:25 (UTC)
  • The current article reads like promotion, and would need work (I never trust any article that states 'look at the website'). However, the print appearances would suggest that it is of higher quality than the average web comic, and if it does, or did, appear regularly then it would qualify as a keep.Average Earthman 10:33, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • In light of Triskaideka's defense, I'm changing my vote to keep. Regular publication makes it notable, and trumps traffic-based guidelines. — Gwalla | Talk 19:21, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Weak keep based on the print version. The Comixpedia review doesn't make it notable, though - Comixpedia will let almost anyone review almost anything. -Sean Curtin 04:09, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
