[edit] Jenn Dolari

This is about a Wikipedian who is author of the webcomics. If she is notable, she should go onto Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles. Fplay 00:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, her webcomics meet notability criteria, so she is notable. I'll add her onto the list. Hiding talk 20:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Hiding. Deckiller 01:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
It just was not clear to me that Dolari was notable. I was hoping to help keep the "Wikipedians with articles" list of a limited size (selective, I guess), otherwise, it would tend to become promotional. When someone's main media presence is on the web, you cannot just trust Google counts. -- Fplay 19:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Agree with Hiding, notable enough for Wikipedia inclusion. --Wingsandsword 06:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Author of nn webcomic, hence also nn. Eusebeus 16:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: Um, Eusebeus could you define non notable, since her webcomic quite clearly is notable by Wikipedia guidelines on the matter. I'd be quite happy to vote to deprecate the guidelines if you wish to propose so doing? Hiding talk 23:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, the notability requirements laid out in the discussion on Webcomics are still in flux and not accepted by everyone. More to the point, even if this webcomic could be considered notable (which I doubt), the author is entirely nn outside of this (she lost her job, she writes a comic), which means this should be either userfied or redirected to the webcomic in question. With respect to the webcomic criteria, I think the gist of concern is that there is an extremely low barrier to entry for webcomics, like podcasts and blogs. As a result, the standards for inclusion as worth encyclopedic treatment need to be correspondingly high. Obviously, however, I understand if you disagree and choose to take a more inclusionist line. Since I have been outvoted on this one, it doesn't make much difference anyhow. Eusebeus 15:49, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
