[edit] Electric Sheep Comix

None notable website with an alexa ranking of 600k+ as discussed in the nomination above. I have not nominated the author for deletion Patrick Farley, as there is one small claim of notability there, but I don't think his personal website warrants an article. He has a livejournal blog too. Does that deserve an entry? - Hahnchen 01:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Professional webcomic. Certainly notable. Cnwb 06:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a pretty bare stub, but Farley's work has received a fair amount of critical attention, both online and in print. I don't see how someone who's researched the topic could think it isn't notable. Factitious 14:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - I think you could have nom'd the author as well. Authoring a few web comics and a blog just doesn't quite make it to notability in my book.--Isotope23 16:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I agree with Hahnchen. I also agree with Isotope. Dottore So 21:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He is noted in print and in Web reviews for his experimentation in Web comics. ELectric sheep is his dedicated Art site and not his "personal" Web site. He has another site for that. --AlainV 08:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Question - This is an art site that has not been updated for a few years. It is a website. An article for Patrick Farley already exists. Would an article on David Hockney's website be deleted? What about The Chapman Brothers official site? Yes, because, like this one they are none notable sites and would fair better as part of the artist's article. What about Goldfrapp, their website has been through several iterations and has been given an MTV award. I've read articles in music magazines talking about their website. But if I listed www.goldfrapp.co.uk on wikipedia, it would be deleted, stating that Goldfrapp already exists. This is the same, but because it has been classed as a webcomic, the guidelines on websites becomes putty. - Hahnchen 12:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
    • The website itself got an MTV award, and was the subject of magazine articles? By all means, make an entry for it. I'd support you. Factitious 16:24, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Answer. The electric sheep site is an Art site completely dedicated to the Art of web comics and it was last updated January 20th 2005. The fact that the last time a comic on it was updated was in 2003 does not make it less relevant. It is the repository of all of Farley's Web comics that were praised by Web and print sources, which you can check by googling Patrick Farley and electric sheep and by reading Scott McCloud's book and other publications. --AlainV 04:17, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep As per Factitious and AlainV -Abe Dashiell 13:43, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep See Factious, plus Rush Limbaugh Eats Everything. This is a seminal early webcomic, and a damn good illustration of what you can do with the web's infinite canvas. Philip Taron 10:06, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
