[edit] Running with Scissors (webcomic)

What things come to mind when you think of Running with Scissors? Do you think of this non notable webcomic? With an Alexa rank of over 3.5 million and most Google search results for "Running with Scissors" webcomic bringing up 115 links, the majority of them irrelevent (either the game developers or Weird Al album), I don't think this is notable, and it fails any sort of WP:WEB criteria. - Hahnchen 05:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep the author of the article is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics and that was his first article. I'ts not a hoax, thus I'll assume good faith on this one. —This user has left wikipedia 09:22 2006-02-02
  • Comment - How does being a member of the Wikiproject make the subject matter of this article any more notable? The article may very well be in good faith, and it's not a hoax. You noted on another AFD that Google only came back with 50 or so links, this one comes back with similar or even less discarding the irrelevent entries. Nice user page btw. - Hahnchen 09:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment ~ You may be right, In my heart I feel bad deleting this guys first article —This user has left wikipedia 11:24 2006-02-02
• Delete per nominator. Better to delete their first article, so they don't make the same mistake again. Being part of the project shows me he cares for webcomics (perhaps too much), but that doesn't mean the article suddenly follows the WP:WEB criteria. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Good faith or not, it is simply not notable. StarryEyes 16:01, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, does not meet WP:WEB. -- Dragonfiend 16:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, it's a webcomic article done to applicable WikiProject standards, and the webcomic is out there as is regularly updated. I don't see the problem. --AlexWCovington (talk) 02:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree that good faith has nothing to do with it; the subject just isn't notable enough. —Cleared as filed. 05:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
