[edit] Badmash
Appears to be non-notable, fails the guidelines at WP:WEB, I can turn up 117 google hits, nothing jumps out as being a reliable source. Hiding talk 21:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:Vanity. I personally visit badmash occasionally, but I don't think it is notable enough to merit its own article. Perhaps worth a mention in an article about webcomics.Cdcon 21:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

- Keep The article is a sad little thing, but Badmash is fairly unique. I can't think of any other comic written from its perspective, at least none in English and with an American point of view. Also, if you do a Google search on "Badmash comic" as opposed to the geekier "Badmash webcomic", you get 14,300 hits. I'm also not convinced that vanity has been proven. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 00:23, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. I think this counts as media attention (fourth hit on the "badmash comic" google mentioned above), thereby passing WP:WEB. Nifboy 17:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
*Delete, non-notable webcomic. Fails WP:WEB -- coverage by an extremely minor, likely unreliable online zine does not mean "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works." -- Dragonfiend 17:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

- Keep per Ganeshk and his verifiable, reliable sources cited below. The article still needs some expansion based on those sources, of course. -- Dragonfiend 01:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep: They are notable. I quote from their website, Badmash’s weekly email reaches a diverse audience of 200,000+ subscribers. I am one of them. Do check out the media mentions. The title should be Badmash.org.- Ganeshk (talk) 00:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- In light of the above link mentions I would like to change my vote from delete to Keep, and apologise for not doing enough research before bringing this to afd. Hiding talk 01:17, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and move to Badmash.org per Ganeshk. --Gurubrahma 05:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
