not notable per standards for webcomics. RJFJR 16:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep The web comic has been going for 5 years, and is clearly notable. We need to preserve these early historical examples of web comics.scope_creep 17:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    • ...why do we need to preserve it? We are not a time capsule, we are an encyclopedia. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    Going? I thought it had ended? It has an end date in the infobox. RJFJR 18:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Exactly, we are an encyclopedia, Dennis The Tiger, which primary purpose is to record historical and current fact. The notability policy needs to be changed on this. scope_creep 19:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Well, an AFD is not the place to talk about policy changes or to attempt to set the precedent thereof. If you wish to discuss this, go to the talk page at WP:N and bring it up. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, didn't even make it to three years.--Esprit15d 20:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Working off of WP:N and WP:WEB, and regretfully it fails both. =/ --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    • It sort of meets WP:WEB #3: it was briefly part of Keenspot's print page, which appeared in several US newspapers, but I don't know if it counts as "independant": the comic's author is the brother of one of Keenspot's founders. --Carnildo 20:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no reputable third party sources covering this topic or suggesting any importance. --Dragonfiend 00:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
