[edit] Cubetoons

Non-notable webcomic (WP:WEB), Alexa rank 1,035,119. Sandstein 08:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Admits it's non-notable. Case closed, delete. - Randwicked Alex B 08:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable... you had me at launched in February of 2006. --Kinu t/c 08:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per, er, article. -- Mithent 15:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nn webcomic. --Terence Ong 16:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: Okay, what the? First you come and ask me to change the page to make it say it's non-notable, and then you want it deleted when I do that! Sure Cubetoons.com only recieves 4000 hits a say, but that's because most people read it on IGN which ranks much higher on Alexa.com!ComKeen 05:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
No, you misunderstood: I proposed it for deletion as non-notable. This doesn't mean the article must say it's non-notable. If the article is kept, it would be good if you could clean it up a little; compare PvP for a good webcomic article. Best, Sandstein 11:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't see how surviving for over a year on a large well known website, and remaining a front page feature does not imply notability. If Cubetoons did not get enough views IGN would have stopped posting it as a special feature by now. - D_X 03:07, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep They do appear to be a regular feature on IGN [1], at least for now. Considering the kind of viewship IGN carries I think that is enough to be notable. kotepho 01:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per terence ong --Khoikhoi 03:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Regular feature on IGN (thus getting the same audience as IGN [2]. Only reason the site said non-notable was because they were told to put non-notable in after the first edit. It could use a little exapnding, but I don't think it should be deleted. --Boss 04:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep If a regular feature on IGN (one of the biggest sites on the internet) that has spawned enough popularity to become an entire official website is not included in the biggest online encyclopedia, it is hard to say what IS worth mention. The actual comic had been shown on IGN for a year before the official comic site launched, and there are no plans to end the IGN feature anytime soon. --CtC 12:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:]] (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep a notable (if not very funny) webcomic. JoshuaZ 07:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rewrite as it's a press release. I'll take y'all's word for it on notability. ProhibitOnions 12:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Mark as unclean I think the article should exist but it is a really bad article for wikipedia standards. --anonomous 5:51 3/13/06
  • Keep per ProhibitOnions -- Zaron 02:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup/rewrite: A regular feature on IGN, meet non-trivial publishing of WP:WEB. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 12:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Terrence Ong. Kuzaar 17:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Alexa results not impressive, but the IGN connection means it passes WP:WEB, if only by a hair. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment As Boss pointed out, the IGN connection is the reason why the Alexa rank is so low. Having the comic on IGN is going to cost the comic's main site most of its hits. -- Zaron 20:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
