[edit] Striving for Mediocrity

• Delete, comic strips are not inherently encyclopedic. Wyss 21:44, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable enough, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 02:55, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. College newspaper comic strips specifically are not inherently notable. In general, they run for about three years max, the artist graduates, and life goes on for artist and audience alike. — Gwalla | Talk 03:11, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
