[edit] Fried (webcomic)

Delete this non-notable webcomic with an Alexa ranking of 2,915,503. Besides its Alexa rank that's 30 times the limit suggested by Google test, the comic is just slightly more than two years old and the article boasts that "the update schedule of the comic is notoriously irregular." Article gives no information that would distinguish this from any other rarely updated, fairly new website. Article also reads like vanity, which isn't surprising since it's been edited 25 times by Squirminator2k, the self-described "creator and co-writer of Fried."

• Delete It is my feeling that by most of the standards regularly expressed on Wikipedia, this comic ought not be described as "notable." Please see User:Snowspinner/Webcomics for a brief outline of the credentials I feel I bring to bear on a discussion of webcomic notablity. In light of this, I ask the closing admin to take my view in to appropriate account in relation to non-subject experts. Snowspinner 22:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No attempt has been made to establish notability. TheMadBaron 08:52, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, not notable, etc. -- SCZenz 16:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - as above. I would also recommend the nominator take a look at Psycheverse and Apathy (webcomic). Also note that the webcomic author did in fact try and delete the page by vandalising it. - Hahnchen 19:04, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for above reasons, although I must protest the "No attempt has been made to establish notability" comment. I still don't understand why the ARTICLE itself is seen as a vehicle for establishing notability by some folks: the comic itself is either notable or non-notable, the article is merely written about it.

  • It does help if the article establishes notability, it doesn't have to, but in many cases it should and does. Like mentioning awards, or maybe critical commentary or some sort of notoriety in general. - Hahnchen 13:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
