From Articles for deletion
- Bob and George: Is this a popular cartoon? Otherwise, this is just an article about someone's website, and Wikipedia is not a web directory. -- The Anome 08:08 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Now correct me if I am wrong, but did not both this and the David Anez pages already go through this process several weeks ago. To me they at least appear familiar titles from this page. Is there a long term archive on what article titles have already passed through Vfd? I mean theoretically someone could just resubmit the same stuff over and over again, and we would debate it here each time ab novo. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick
- It was David Anez before (resolution: merge into cartoon page), now it's the cartoon page itself being offered for deletion. The scope is wider, so it's a new topic. The Anome 08:45 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- No, you misread me totally. I am talking ancient history here, several weeks ago. I recollect distinctly that both these pages were posted here, and the discussion went much the same way as this time. Except that people went around a couple of extra hoops to verify these subjects were not indeed a vital part of everyones cultural education. I may misremember, but... -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 08:58 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Did they vote to delete the cartoon page too? The Anome
- I honestly don't remember. But it shouldn't be too hard to check out. If the page is an old one, then it probably wasn't deleted, eh? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 09:30 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Theoretically, you should be able to find out things like this by searching the edit summaries. I just did so for the past 1500 edits (back to May 21), and the word "george" has not appeared in an edit summary in that time except in connection with this entry. There has also been only one listing for David Anez back to May 21. -- Tim Starling 13:59 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Um. I am going to eschew pointing out that I joined WikiPedia a full five weeks before May 21; instead I will go for the "misremembered" escape clause. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 16:32 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Belay that. I scanned the summaries to the end of time, and I was fully and totally mistaken. The nearest name to David Anez was Daniel Evans. Maybe that was the source of my mistake. I fully retract my allegation that David Anez was a repeat. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 18:23 1 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- It is NOT a "cartoon", it is a web comic, and Wikipedia does list webcomics. Ergo, I don't favor deletion. Otherwise, Megatokyo and Tsunami Channel are also fair game. Emperorbma 06:06 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Additionally, it is critical to the definition of Sprite comic, since it was the one very first sprite comics, if not the first. Emperorbma
