[edit] The Infamous

Non notable keenspace comic, found here. Google search shows up nothing notable for this comic, Alexa does not mention it in the keenspace traffic report. Article makes no assertion of notability. Already exists at comixPedia. - Hahnchen 01:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable webcomic, already on comixpedia. Ilmari Karonen 15:27, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hey hold on a sec, am the original arthor of this article. Am still a bit new to the site but I found the webcomic list and, being a cartoonist, added mine onto it. The thing said "Webcomic without an article would be deleted". I added an article, updated it and am now keeping watch over it. Yeah it hard to search for, but many Comic Genesis comics don't have search links, aren't picked up by other search engines, or you have to go direct (i.e: use the whole address, not just the name) to look for it. You can't delete the article just for that. C'mon.
• Reply - There is a problem with the inclusion criteria for webcomics, being that it is too lax. If the webcomic is not popular, has no real influence within the webcomic community and the outside community, it should be deleted. This website will probably be deleted, even though it has had some mention in the outside press and is probably a lot popular than this comic. That's because it's a website, and people are judging it as so. Because of overly slack guidelines at WP:COMIC, many non notable comics have been left on Wikipedia, and I believe this to be one of them. - Hahnchen 15:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. Dragonfiend 21:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
• Is there anything I can do to keep the page from begin deleted?
  • Have you checked out the comixPedia entry? The entry belongs there for the time being. If it picks up a lot of readers and gains some sort of influence/notoriety within the webcomic and or wider community, then you could always copy it back over. - Hahnchen 12:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
•  :( Peachy. Two questions: 1.What do you guys mean by notability?

and 2. Will it still remain on the webcomic list despite the article being over in comiPedia?

• • Reply, it will not be in the wikipedia List of Comics. Some aspects of notability - Is it extremely popular/well known? Has it received critical reviews from respected webcomic journals? the wider press? Generally, what has this webcomic done, which would lift it over the others. - Hahnchen 15:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
