[edit] Mythos: the Demon Hunters

This article is for a former webcomic that is now a video game in development. It was proded last month, but the tag was removed wth the comment "de-prod; mentioned on IGN and GameSpy". You'll find that here as well as a few other places on IGN's network, but IGN's stats suggest it's very low profile. Here is Variant's official description; otherwise, there's not much information and the game's release date has been TBA since this article's creation. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. As far as its original existence as webcomic is concerned, it doesn't appear to be verifiable. I can't even find it anywhere. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 00:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I was going to AFD this sooner or later, but have not had much time. I also have Variant Interactive on my watchlist pending deletion, that's a publishing company behind this which have so far published absolutely nothing. - Hahnchen 00:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I prodded it and hadn't noticed that it was deprodded (my mistake!). It seems that the mentions in IGN and GameSpy indicate that there are no articles, no reviews, no news, and no sources for this information, so it's unverified (and probably unverifiable too).

• Hello, I'm the creator of Mythos -- a young man in a youth group I mentor pointed this out to me. The webcomic has been taken offline in preparation for the new one to appear, ideally later this year. The game is TBA, pending some internal negotiations with hardware manufacturers, but is in production. Understandably, Wikipedia is not for advertising so if because of the game this entry needs to be deleted for now I can see that, though I hope it can be reinstated in the future. --Cwboyer 14:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I believe the main issue here is that this article does not meet the policy of Wikipedia:Verifiability. For information on inclusion standards more specific to webcomics, see Wikipedia:Notability (web). Briefly, in order for wikipedia to be useful it must be reliable, and it does not appear that this webcomic is one that has been covered by reliable sources such as The New York Times, The Comics Journal, Wired, etc. -- Dragonfiend 15:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • It does look likely that it will be deleted for now, as we try not to have articles that don't have a good deal of proof. The criteria of proof for webcomics is pretty high, but when you get the game released and reviewed / commented upon, an article on it will be most welcome. Regards, Ziggurat 21:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
