[edit] Alien Dice
Fails criteria of WP:WEB --BradBeattie 04:39, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

- Keep. WEB or no WEB, attempting to delete a Keenspot comic as non-notable is clearly counterproductive. As Dragonfriend acerbically pointed out, even the prominent Checkerboard Nightmare could be claimed to fail WP:WEB. --Kizor 10:55, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Theres a school of thought that seems to believe that anything picked up by the Keenspot network instantly makes it a notable work. I don't subscribe to that view at all. Even though the editors at Keenspot may think that its a cool comic which would draw the advertising money in, it doesn't make it notable or popular. Alien Dice is no longer a member of Keenspot. It has an Alexa ranking of 700,000, and Wikipedia's awesome advertising board is one of the top sources for incoming links. Why users like Kizor treat Webcomics like a special needs case is beyond me. How Alien Dice can possibly compete in terms of notability and popularity to such deleted sites such as Soompi, Pokemon-Safari or Encyclopedia Dramatica is beyond me. When a website still needs to rely on people clicking on votes to topsites such as Alien Dice, it doesn't exactly suggest that it's encyclopedic. There's another comment that comes across a lot on webcomic debates, is that webcomics are such an amateurish new phenomenon that we can't be expected to have reliable sources, well, so is game modding and thats been picked up by the popular press. This, hasn't. - Hahnchen 17:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete No claim of notability in the article, and 109 unique Google hits for "Alien Dice" "Tiffany Ross" is abysmally low for something that's Internet-based to begin with. -Elmer Clark 02:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
