[edit] Carry The Duck

Originally a Portuguese-language webcomic, some of its strips have been translated into English and German. It doesn't appear to meet WP:WEB. The article was originally by User:Joatan, who appears to be the webcomic's author, and the text is directly from the webcomic's site. It's always difficult to judge foreign-language subjects, which is why I'll let you do your own Google, etc. searches instead of linking mine, but I can't find much reference to it outside of its own site and Wikipedia itself. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 13:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It really is originally a Portuguese-language webcomic, but has a lot of material in English and German, not only strips, but cartoons and specials. It is more popular in portuguese (Pagando O Pato) then other languages, for sure, but I still consider it as a multi-language webcomic, that is why I listed in the webcomics page. I'm trying to "code" it as Wikipedia way, but it seems to be quite complicated. I did some changes, but if you wanna help me on it, you'll be welcome. []s – Joatan Preis Dutra

  • At this time, I believe Comixpedia would be a better place for this than Wikipedia. It has a more definitive listing of webcomics and doesn't have the same policies against creators contributing to articles on their own works that we do. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 12:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I also believe that this is better suited for Comixpedia. -- Dragonfiend 01:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Although I am impressed that the author just hasn't resorted to flaming the nominator. How do you do that Abe? - Hahnchen 23:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually I don't like to "fight". If the majority will choose to delete, what more can I do? I just think that the text is quite the same to "about us" from the original webiste. So, could be anyone writing the same article... []s – Joatan Preis Dutra
