[edit] Notable

This webcomic appears to fail WP:WEB. Static Universe 14:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
To respond to the previous comment, I think it's notable/popular enough that I, as a regular but not fanatical user of the intarweb, found it without looking for it or things like it. That is, many sites had a link to it, so I looked at it. Does this make it notable? I don't know. Just saying that it is at least well-known/linked. EDIT: Ten seconds later, I glance at the sources for the article and find reviews there. Doesn't that make it notable? Many reviews? I'm sort of new to wikipedia as a member so correct me if I'm wrong.- (Ninsaneja 18:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC))

Notability also comes from the reference stated in the article, specifically Gail Simone
“ Listen, do yourself a favor. There's hardly anything more delightful on the web. ”
from the guidelines:
General notability is not judged by Wikipedia editors directly. The inclusion of topics on Wikipedia is a reflection of whether those topics have been included in reliable published works. Other authors, scholars, or journalists have decided whether to give attention to a topic, and in their expertise have researched and checked the information about it. Thus, the primary notability criterion is a way to determine whether "the world" has judged a topic to be notable. This is unrelated to whether a Wikipedia editor personally finds the subject remarkable or worthy.
In this case Gail Simone is an author in the comics industry. From the article about her: Gail Simone is an American writer of comic books. She is the current writer of DC's Birds of Prey series.
