[edit] Papa delicious

"Papa Delicious is a comic strip written and produced by a freshman in high school as of 2005." Non-notable, nonencyclopedic. tregoweth 01:33, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Sounds like a lovely comic, but unverifiable as not apparently actually published.—Gaff ταλκ 03:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually one of the strips is located here. The links on the left are links to the individual episodes.--John Lynch 03:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not-notable, vanity. Avalon 04:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't see any indication this is a vanity article. Instead it looks like someone whose a fan of the strip created it.--John Lynch 03:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Probably even speediable. -R. fiend 04:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Definitely NN; a speedy in my view. PJM 12:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The author appears to be trying to establish his subjects non-notability. "I have found that unless you go to the same school as the "mystery writer" it is very difficult to relate to the topics discussed. In addition this "mystery writer" seems to update quite infrequently". I'm sold. Delete per nom. TheMadBaron 16:34, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable vanity. A Google search returns only one hit, which is unrelated to the subject of the article. --TantalumTelluride 21:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete I'm the author (of the comic), and while I did not create this article, I think it would be sad to see it go. I did edit it to include the site so that you may feast your eyes upon it. I created a wikipedia account so that it wouldn't be like... deleted. At least don't speedy it.That oh so awesome link again Papa D 01:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)


Comment article is an orphan.Geni 13:11, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Neither of those pages are Wikipedia guidelines, they're merely proposals.
  • Keep - the article can definitely use a clean-up, but once done so, it can become a good article. Non-notability isn't part of Wikipedia's guidelines, so IMO a comic shouldn't be deleted merely for these reasons. The fact the strip exists is verifiable, while some of the assertions in the article may not be verifiable, the strip does exist.--John Lynch 03:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable according to WP:COMIC and WP:WEB. Also appears to be advertising abuse of Wikipedia. Bwithh 03:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
