Delete/Transwiki as non-notable, comes across as marketing abuse of wikipedia. Article is an article about a self-published comic book about furry cyborg anthroid (also up for afd) superheroes with attractively tight-fitting costumes (which is possibly an argument for keep, but doesnt quite do it for me) which scores just 164 google hits. Creator should be told to Transwiki material to the furophile Wikifur, if he wants, which is really his target market anyway. Sincere congratz to the Wikifur community, by the way, for starting their own wiki. If only more fancrufters on wikipedia would do the same. Bwithh 21:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The Creator didn't make this page, I (RVDDP2501) did, I have not read any of the comics, I just found the characters interesting and there was little info I could find in one place, so I made the page, How do I stop this page and Extinctioners from being deleted—The preceding unsigned comment was added by RVDDP2501 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 4 June, 2006 (UTC).

- RVDDP2501, don't take the afd personally, its not to undervalue your hard work. The concern is that your subject may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia on notability grounds. If you can show verifiable proof that this comic is read and known widely enough, your article would pass the Afd test. I also suggested that the highly commendable project, Wikifur may a better home (with a better audience) for your efforts. All you need to do is copy and paste to that wiki.

- By the way, if you are not the creator of these comics, and do not have permission from the creator, then there are significant copyright violations from the use of the comic images in this way (would also apply if you transferred the images to Wikifur) Bwithh 23:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete RVDDP250, I am a furry fan, but I think this level of fandom is excessive for a general encyclopedia. At the most, the first part could be left. All the character detail should be left on WikiFur. also, above you state that you have not read the comics... however, the text make it sound like you have drawn them extensively...
