[edit] PHWComics

Appears to be non-notable advertising for a website. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. PHWComics is a non-profit team that makes comics basically just for the fun of it and entertainment to show others. They are not in it for making money and this article does not exist for "free advertising". It is merely here to tell people who PHWComics is, what they do, and maybe even teach people a few tricks and techniques for making comics along the way. Go and check out the site and take a look if you don't believe me. -- Zeus (PHWComics fan)


Note from a member of PHWComics-- As a member of the mentioned site, we are not looking for free advertising, we are non-profit. We are part of a larger community that uses something called Garry's Mod for Half-Life to to make comics, contraptions and more. The mod is basically a free physics sandbox for the game Half-Life 2 from VAVLe Software, and it a little bit of an Internet phenomena that we felt should be documented. We feel that it is no more of a advertisement than the page for Homestar Runner page also featured here. -- BrashFink (PHWComics)

  • Delete. Not notable. Even if it isn't advertising it still doesn't warrant an article. --Randy 23:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)


Note from a member of PHWComics-- Well, one of the comics, namely mine, "Apostasy" was notable enough to be in 3 major British Magazines; PC Gamer UK, PC Zone and FHM UK Edition. Some of the other sites that have featured it are 1up.com, BoingBoing.net, GameSpot.com and SlashDot. It was also featured on G4TV's "Attack of the Show" Go do a google search for "Apostasy Comic", there are tons of links, even in other languages. If it is voted out, that is perfectly fine. I just wanted to note that we were not "looking for something" by posting this, we were just trying to add to the greater "net consciousness" about something. -- BrashFink (PHWComics)

  • Weak keep. This has seen some gaming and geek press coverage, and is part of a recent upswing in interest in machinima. It could definitely do with some context and cleanup, though. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 05:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Have done some context & cleanup work. Keep. Vizjim 13:21, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's verifiable and wiki isn't paper. It doesn't come under any point at What Wikipedia is not. ··gracefool |☺ 17:39, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
