[edit] Fluff in Brooklyn

Article does not pass WP:WEB and should be deleted. A thorough Google seach turns up thousands of hits for hundreds of profiles and directory listings, but no non-trivial independent coverage (quick mentions in blogs I'm counting as "trivial"). Among those directories, profiles, and blog links, the overwhelming majority are not even about the comic, but rather the related podcast. For background, the article appears to be a vanity creation by the webcomic's creator, judging by the contributions of the account and IPs involved: Thecarla (talk · contribs), 146.151.33.67 (talk · contribs), 64.115.119.154 (talk · contribs), 72.225.219.230 (talk · contribs), and the licensing tag on the image in the article (Image:Island9modified.jpg). It is also effectively an orphan article, as it is only linked to from the articles of a small collective of affiliated comics, and the linking all appears to have been done by the above user and IPs. Wikipedia is not for advertising is a principle that applies. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
