[edit] Lúpin

Lúpin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Apparently there isn't a nerd in Argentina who has not heard of this, and there is a handy link if you want to buy it. What there is not, is a reliable independent source. Guy (Help!) 19:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I smell a hoax -- I'm quite fluent in Spanish, and I doubt that "Lúpin" is really Spanish for "looping" (unless it's some sort of weird Argentine slang -- Argentinian Spanish is bizarre). Either way, the lack of reliable sources is telling. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 22:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per the above and the nom. When you think about it, the article probably also befits the non-notable criteria as well. Anonymous Dissident ^Utter 23:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. You folks are confusing me. The subject is clearly not a hoax, as the link to its page attests. I presume it's as notable as any other comic. When an article on a real and notable subject has flaws in tone, sources, etc., I'd say the solution is to clean it up or ask for a clean-up, not suggest deletion.

I'm working on other things at the moment, but I've found a neutral source (in Spanish) that backs up some of the statements in the article. When I get a chance, I'll revise it (if no one else has). I'm sure all the above responders understand this, as you also had things to do instead of improving the article yourselves.

By the way, the article says Lúpin "is 'looping' spelled in Spanish", not translated into Spanish. —JerryFriedman 02:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

It has some sources now. —JerryFriedman 04:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Forty years old. Notable within its national nerd & pilot community. --Nricardo 22:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, at least as notable as several other publications in Wikipedia. --Mariano(t/c) 13:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep A 40-year old comic is notable in its age, also external reports are very likely to exist, if only to commemorate their anniversary.--Kylohk 12:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
