[edit] Obscured by species

NN webcomic - the article even admits it's obscure. AFD'ing rather than speedy-ing in case anyone can prove otherwise 23skidoo 04:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete - I am swinging on this, so I will just go over my reasons in point form:
Why it is worth deleting:
  1. Alexa rank of 3 million
  2. not listed in topwebcomics.com's top 100
  3. its forum is empty
  4. only 51 unique google hits
  5. Their main page talks about advertising
  6. They go on about being published, yet only have 1 edition published.
Why it is worth keeping:
  1. 17,000 google hits
  2. It is available for sale (hence not just a web comic)
In the end, it looks too much like advertising for mine. So I am going with delete. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 07:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

    • So what's your vote? 23skidoo 05:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
      • I have to vote? I have no interest in the fate of this article either way; I was just curious, and found that one of the facts provided to keep was incorrect, and wished to make a note of it for those users who concern themselves with the fate of this article.

        • Fair enough -- I wasn't sure whether your comment was just that or if you were trying to support one side or the other. Cheers. 23skidoo 13:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Question Are we saying Webcomics are not valid for inclusion in Wiki here?
    • No, we are saying that this particular webcomic is not suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Check out the Webcomics section of WP:WEB to see what a webcomic has to achieve to be suitable for inclusion. Saberwyn - 12:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
