[edit] TRG Productions

This is a group of webcomics hosted on a website called Fireball20xl. Fireball20xl manages an Alexa rank of 50,000, so whereas you'd probably delete it if it were a regular website, you might consider it for a webcomic. Only, if you see the traffic data, as I've linked to, you'll see that 87% of these hits aren't to any webcomic at all, but to a sprite (2d images) resource at http://sprites.fireball20xl.com . The group of 5 webcomics by the same guy, "Alan Solivan" are found at http://trg.fireball20xl.com and pulls in 3% of the hits. Neither of these 5 comics are notable individually, and grouping them together makes no difference. Searching for "Alan Solivan" the author of every comic gets just over 100 hits, as there's not many, it's not hard to work through. You won't find a single professional review of his work, because it isn't notable. This guy falls into the same boat as David Gonterman, prolific? maybe. Notable? no. - Hahnchen 00:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete, being hosted by a (marginally) notable website doesn't necessarily make your webcomic notable. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Seems I'm in a minority here. Thought it would just be a cool to have another webcomic-related article here. G'head and delete it, seeing as what I have to say probably won't matter squat on the fate of the article. I would, however, like to point out two things that I'd like to be mentioned for the record. First, I'd like to state that while The Spriters' Resource and TRG Productions do indeed get 85% and 7% of the website's hits, respectively, it had been failed to mention that TRG Productions is the most heavily visited subdomain of the site after Spriter's Resource, gaining more than the front page of the main site itself. Spriters Resource is exactly what it says: a spriter's resource. There are a decent handful of sprite comics with undeniably large followings, the webmaster of Fireball20xl, Bryon Beaubien, included. As a result, he made what I think is a wise decision and made a subdomian strictly for those who want to make good sprite comics/works to get the mateials they need to get started, as opposed to having the said following hang onto them asking for and/or where to get sprites. Additionally, the website that was linked states only how many hits the subdomains as a whole get. Look around Spriter's Resource. There are a lot of pages, primarily because the sprite sheets are linked to the sheets themselves (if I'm making sense). If it were like Shuyguy Kingdom (http://tsgk.captainn.net/index.php), it's quite likely that the hit count for Spriter's Resource would be considerably lower. Secondly, I would like to simply state what Alan Solivan had to say about this article get deleted (note that these aren't his exact words; he was much more diverse, so to speak, in his exact diction): "This would be the second time Wikipedia had anything related to my work killed (the last time was because my site was only a 'small' porition of an even bigger one or some equaly trivial matter) and I'd rather not have to keep putting up with their being so severely ridiculous over everything."--Cukeman 22:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
