[edit] Gemini Bright

- What do you see as a good standard for notability for a webcomic? I have useful standards for books and people, and for bands there is WP:MUSIC. Surely some webcomics are noteable enough that an articel makes sense, and others are not. How do you draw the line? No vote yet DES (talk) 16:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Good point. Don't know how reliable it is, but I found [1], which gives stats for webcomics. If it's to be relied upon, at the time of writing Gemini Bright has been viewed 15 times this month. Not sure how real-time the stats are, but two of those should be me today, giving a total of 13 views. And some of them are bound to be the comic's creator, and a couple more would probably be fellow Wikipedians investigating an article listed on AfD. If this is basis for making a judgment, I'd say this made it nn. CLW 16:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- I visited that site, adn read their FAQ. I am note sure, but it looks to me as if they only record "views" made after they refered a user to a webcomic site. viewers who came in by a direct URL link or say from wikipedia, will probably not be included in their totals. Since they can add a listign without havign a change made to the content of a listed page (such as a hitcounter requires) I am prety sure this is the case. If that si so, these stats are not a good method of judging notability. DES (talk) 17:16, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Good question. I'm against simple "x hits per month" (or similar) metrics, as such are easily cheated at and don't mean much anyway. I think webcomics for inclusion should have a decent Alexa score and some recognition outside the webcomic crowd or otherwise impact on the outside world. For example, Penny Arcade is well known among gamers who aren't also webcomic buffs, and appears in gaming publications on occasion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
- Another question would be whether or not a site is notable outside the webcomic community, or merely within it. Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, for example, isn't very significant in a cultural or pop-culture sense, but it and its creator have been involved in a lot of feuds and controversies within the webcomic community. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. Questionable, but likely to be nn. If evidence of notability *does* crop up feel free to leave one on my talk page and I'll review my vote. — Phil Welch 23:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, as nn webcomic, as I know that it isn't significant even in the webcomics community. If this has some sort of significant impact in the fur community or some other claim to notability, I will revise my vote. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 00:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - I had a look at List of webcomics yesterday and it is just a webcomic advertising portal, I randomly clicked on some, and then google/alexa checked them, and so much there is non-notable. It's going to be a chore to dig through all those webcomics and find out which ones are actually notable, but I think it's a job that has to be done, or it'll just get worse, with wikipedia being the first port of call for webcomic advertising. I put up 13th labour up for deletion without knowing about this one, but there are many more still there. - Hahnchen 00:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
