[edit] Inherit the Earth

This page was nominated before for deletion and kept. However, at that point, the article was about a commerically released computer game . It's now about a furry fancomic of the computer game. Previous votes for keeping this article include, "It shouldn't be on List of web comics" and "Keep on the basis of the game, not the non-notable webcomic". Although I applaud its massive assailing of the Alexa ranks from 2 million of the previous nomination to 1 million of its current nomination, this is not a notable website. - Hahnchen 00:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete per above. —Centrx→talk • 01:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
That is where the original content of the article went. It is customary to redirect after you move an article. Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 12:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. GassyGuy 05:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and revert to the point where it was kept. ackoz 12:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per Armedblowfish. --Kristjan Wager 16:01, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete the webcomic content, and redirect to the computer game. -- Dragonfiend 16:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Merge the computer game was quite popular at the time and I can imagine that the official webcomic of it is of interest to some people --Splette Image:Happyjoe.jpg Talk 18:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • If the webcomic is based on the game, perhaps it should be merged and redirected? (We could start with a redirect, as I voted above, and merge appropriately.) Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs)
  • You are right, it would be probably enough to mention it in the computer game's page --Splette Image:Happyjoe.jpg Talk 18:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge with the game page. Bwithh 21:13, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with the game. It's the "official sequel" of (what I assume) is a notable video game, hence it is notable for being linked to this. However, I think both the video game and its webcomic sequel can be in a single article. Xuanwu 21:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: Yes, the game shouldn't have been listed as a webcomic. But there isn't any reason to merge the sequel into the original. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 00:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with the game article. If I hear "Inherit the Earth", I think of the game, whatever the subtitle happens to be... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or, failing that, merge with the game's page. Disk space is cheap. Bryce 19:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Nom is incorrect about the authorship of the comic, it is the official sequel to the game. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 21:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge per Bryce. Royalbroil 04:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with the game. While considering this vote I went over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics. It was interesting to note that the members of the project have been through a process of attempting to formulate rules on deciding which webcomics were notable and appear to have been unable to reach a consensus - though, under strong guidance from Abe Dashiell, there seems to be a positive movement toward shifting webcomic stubs from Wiki onto Comixpedia.org. Unfortunately, the general attitude then is to leave the AfD process to clear away any mess. I would have hoped that members of the project would have taken more responsibility for their own area of interest and made positive decisions themselves as to which articles are worth keeping and which are not.
