[edit] Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi
Vain, an advert, non-notable, etc. Master Thief Garrett 09:58, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete. "phenomenally successful"? This thing nets me 651 Google hits. If that's what you call phenomenal, then what's Homestar Runner? It gets 371,000 hits. Need I say more? Master Thief Garrett 10:03, 1 May 2005 (UTC)Withdraw vote, until I can get a better idea of the minimum notability that the webcomics project requires. I'd say if it meets the webcomic minimum then it's a Keep for me. Master Thief Garrett 11:11, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

- I doubt you've checked the DeviantArt page's stats as well...(The official page's only a showcase, the pages are also put up to DeviantArt.)
- I'm not very "up" on all this art stuff, so no I didn't know to check there... Master Thief Garrett 10:37, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- So did it pass this time? (To know if I should spend time on expanding it) Harg 10:39, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, golly, I haven't checked. I have no idea about how to do this stuff! You should probably check on it yourself. Or wait for other Vfders to cast judgement. Or something. If you think it's fine you could expand it, but you should maybe wait a day or so to see if the Vfd's gonna mercilessly slay your hard work. Master Thief Garrett 11:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well there IS a Wikiproject on webcomics and I just wrote an addition to "Our home planet" which made it to the top of the importance list in spite of being much shorter and crappier that this one. So I think I'll finish it anyway. Harg 10:44, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, not notable, cruft. Megan1967 12:29, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I'd put Our Home Planet on VfD too, if I weren't feeling so lazy... ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 16:30, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
- I thought of doing that one myself, but I'm not that brave and foolish... maybe by lunchtime I'll have the guts to... Master Thief Garrett 21:10, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

- Oh geeze, what would you need to make it "notable"? The DA site pockets 10,000 pageviews a day, the artist inspired more fanart than any webcartoonist I see on the Webcomics project. Don't worry, I won't struggle to put it back. It just seemed sort of odd. Harg 8:39, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- Comment / Abstain. All I know is that it updates only twice a month but the art is VERY good. Is it popular? Has anyone heard of it? No clue. I rearranged the links to make it easier to find the actual comic, though, so maybe we'll get a bit more response. Marblespire 23:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. It's actually weekly though there had been a few omissions. I suggest you click on the "has ... pageviews" for the number of views for the last mont and "Watched by"'s complete list on the DeviantArt page. A five-minute google search gave a
bleedman fanlisting, a17th on thewebcomiclist.com, 57th on the Buzzcomix Top 100
mentions on Digital Strips as well as other comic pages. I also suggest you take a good look at the Wikipedia webcomic project before throwing your weight around. Harg 10:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. And is it a vanity article if it's not made by the person who actually writes the doujinshi? Ketsy 23:33, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- "phenomenally successful". Now while that isn't automatically POV of its own accord, this particular comic doesn't get nearly enough Google hits to be "worthy" of such a claim. Master Thief Garrett 02:22, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- I removed that part as soon as you drew my attention to it. If that's the problem you could have simply edited it instead of terminating the article as a whole.Harg 8:09, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm not Vfding it because of grammar and wording, that would be stupid! No, wording doesn't matter, but it's still the noteworthiness that's the problem. Master Thief Garrett 09:09, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

- Comment. You fools. Let the article blossom into a noteworthy and interesting piece, rather than killing it preemptively. The series hasn't even gotten into its full stride yet. Give it some time. And you all know my views on the Google test. That isn't even the most comprehensive search engine out there; just one of the most popular at the moment. 24.54.208.177 03:45, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

- There is no time to wait. The article must be deleted. It may never become noteworthy. Marcus2 12:24, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not noteworthy enough. Marcus2 12:24, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well it certainly won't blossom into an interesting piece if all the good bits are edited. Whatever, just let us let it go down the toilet. Harg 15:06, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Not really, there are four deletes, two keeps, and several abstains, so it may fall under "no consensus". The article as rewritten is probably fine (compared to what it was like when I nominated it), but I still can't work out how these noteriety tests work... Master Thief Garrett 23:55, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- I got some VERY mixed results for webcomics I've searched on Alexia. Megatokyo 12,382; RPG World 64,890; PPGD 84,436; Bruno the Bandit 123,448; It's Walky 132,247; Newshounds 361,229; Irritability 475,064 etc. (all are picked from the already existing articles)Harg 8:09, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
