[edit] Punks and Nerds

Punks and Nerds (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Appears to fail WP:WEB - there's no evidence that this is an especially notable webcomic AdorableRuffian 16:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete It seems a collection of these comic strips has been published commercially but otherwise there's nothing else here to elevate this above the countless many other web comics. The article is pretty much entirely OR and if there aren't multiple non-trivial published works to be cited then there's no article to be had. -- IslaySolomon | talk 16:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WEB & CITE, nothing makes this one notable. SkierRMH,07:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Webcomics. This webcomic has over 20,000 readers. This webcomic has been nominated for numerous awards. What more do you want? More? Fine. It has been in multiple interviews, a few found At the webcomics list, GGL, Comixpedia, as well as college newspapers. Punks and Nerds originated the very popular [Doug Raped Patti] phenomenon found in [collegehumor.com] and YTMND, which can't be directly linked to because ytmnd is a banned link. Also forced the Pringles entry to be locked up after a mass wave of vandelization after a joke was made from this specific strip in July (see edit history in Pringles). In the end, if it's still required to be deleted. That is okay, so be it. :-) JoshMirman,03:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This comic has a wide following. If things are going to be delisted due to lack of interest by a few, Wikipedia will soon lose relevance.--Xmb1121 08:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This webcomic is very popular and has spawned a few very popular internet memes. Evil Vin 18:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Keep it this webcomic is really what helped me get though the tough times back when I was in high school; this webcomic holds a really dear place in my heart. I would hate to see this webcomic go annotated in Wikipedia.
• Expand This comic has spawned a meme or two. If those were included in the article, with links, I think it should definitely be kept.
• Keep. One of the more popular webcomics out there. --Czj 02:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. But we will keep see similar AfDs, so I would advise those in the Webcomic project to try to write a suitable set of criteria that meet their specialized area, as there are for other media and subjects.DGG 06:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Popular comic, referred to in many locations during its run. Creator has also both led and organized multiple group projects/events for the community its a part of. 11:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no suggstion of notability, no reputable sources, Wikipedia is not an internet guide. -- Dragonfiend 07:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep/Delete. After much though on the subject, I'm indifferent on the decision and could go either way. I would prefer the world to not remember me for things I've worked on from as early as 15 years old, and things I've created as a source of entertainment for others while it's a creative outlet for me resulting in "dildo humor" and the likes. However I still know the impact it has made on the internet, the readers, and multiple communities. However wikipedia does not need to have a page to remind people about it. People won't forget about all the enjoyment they had from it if this page is deleted. As creator of the comic, I put trust in whatever final decision is given. --Joshmirman 02:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable website. 12:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
