[edit] Slightly damned

More from my webcomic nn watchlist is Slightly damned, found here. There are 150 links for "Slightly damned" although none of these are from anything approaching a reliable source, and quite a few of them are irrelevent to the subject. This is not notable, I doubt the entire art site http://www.raizap.com/ would pass WP:WEB let alone one of its webcomics. - Hahnchen 00:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• I've already concurred on the delete nom, but I am curious where you found the rating on Buzzcomic.net. I visited the site and it appears to be a directory site, not a ratings service. Tychocat 06:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Buzzcomix.net definitely has rankings; they're on the front page. (This webcomic is currently 69th.) It and TopWebComics.com are (AFAICT) the main webcomics directories/ranking sites; both rank webcomics based (mainly) on number of user votes. (This has its flaws - webcomics which don't go in for that sort of thing are noticably missing - but enough webcomics take part that the rankings are still useful, as long as you understand and take into account how they work.) - makomk 16:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Keep noms may want to check WP:WEB rather than invent new policy or guidelines. Fails WP:WEB for lacking non-trivial third-party articles about the webcomic; I found a lot of directory listings and a couple of blogs. Google shows only 149 distinct hits out of a weak 735 general hits. Alexa traffic shows a three-month average of somewhere about 1.4 millionth. I don't believe Google is the final arbiter of notability, and Alexa admits its accuracy can be shaky when the ratings are that low, but I think it's symptomatic when a website can't even break a thousand on a general Google hits.
