[edit] Denzil's Online Comic

{{prod}} removed without reason, so bringing this here. Article on a web comic designed in MS Paint of which a massive 26 have been released on the website. Other than the phrase "the very noteable comic", no assertion of notability is given. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 10:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  • delete 26 comics and ~700 google hits isn't notable. Henrik 11:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Does it matter what its made in? Is an artist who uses a single brush any worse than one who uses 20 different types? 26 comics have been released, one a week, and there are plenty more to come. Sure I could release another 15 now, but the whole "1 comic a week" system would break down don't you think? Everything starts somewhere. LoudHoward 11:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment You're right, it doesn't matter. However, this AfD isn't an attack on your comic, it simply means that it may not suitable for inclusion in wikipedia yet, as it may be too new and/or have too few readers. Henrik 11:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment DOC is a read no one should go without that weekly hit of fun is what makes me count down how many hours are left in the week Denzil is very prompt and all the comics come out on time. LONG LIVE DOC —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.173.142.161 (talk • contribs) .
  • Delete Clearly does not meet WP:WEB. No Alexa rank for either page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vslashg (talk • contribs)
  • This has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 17:16, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Vanispamcruftisement, lack of reliable sources, doesn't meet WP:WEB, borders on nonsense. "[T]he comic never fails to amuse and while sometimes critics argue the comic isn't funny on any level ..." -- Dragonfiend 18:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, does not meet WP:WEB. Bad ideas 19:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable webcomic, less than 250 Google hits, no Alexa rank. And I figure that a web comics artist who can't draw better than I can isn't going to be very popular. JIP | Talk 09:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I figure a guy who needs to have his name in different colours isn't going to be very popular, or smart for that matter. LONG LIVE DOC! —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoudHoward (talk • contribs)
    • Comment This looks more like a personal attack on the actual website itself as opposed to discussion on the Wikipedia article. Hny
      • Response: On second thought, maybe it does. Comment struck out. JIP | Talk 15:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment ... LONG LIVE DOC! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LoudHoward (talk • contribs) .
    • Explanation: I am really bad at drawing. I suck at drawing anything more complicated than stick figures. The majority of web comics artists can draw better than me. I do not know for certain whether this comic's author really draws like that or just pretends to. JIP | Talk 12:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Well I have difficulties drawing perfect circles and straight lines Sish
  • Delete nn per above. -- Alpha269 17:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I find it quite interesting in knowing the origins of the notable DOC comic. This page should definitely stay. -- Chris

  • Keep Well, I think its pretty good too. I have nothing against it at all. -- LH
Vote added by LoudHoward [2] not LH. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, I've made a few comments above but I'm voting now, I think with some of the pages on kids' art and such shows that this page should not be rulled out simply because of the artistic style, I also think that given some other webcomics which are in a similar vein this page deserves a place in wikipedia. -- Hny
User's only edits have been to this article and it's associated image, talk page, and this AfD. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Comment The issue here isn't the quality of the comic. What matters is whether or not it is notable, based on the WP:WEB. My vote is unchanged. Bad ideas 00:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
