[edit] Tristan A. Farnon

Prodded as a minor cartoonist, prod contested without explanation. Non-notable cartoonist. His webcomic site boasts an Alexa ranking of 571,917. Eusebeus 10:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Looking at the history, I see no evidence it's a vanity article. Leisure Town can't be expected to have much of an Alexa score these days because it's been largely inactive since 2003. Nevertheless, Farnon's work has been recognized by Scott McCloud[1] and The Comics Journal[2]. I'd recommend a merge, except he also works on Rotten.com and Jerkcity. –Abe Dashiell ^(t/c) 12:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as per Adashiel. Farnon's Leisuretown has also been covered by Salon.com and CNN (I'll try to add information from those sources later today) making it one of the most notable webcomics. -- Dragonfiend 14:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Leisure Town, which is a notable site, though sadly inactive nowadays. I don't think Farnon is especiually notable otherwise, but I wouldn't complain about a keep. · rodii · 20:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'd support a merge if Leisure Town was his only work, but he's notable in the comics community by himself, and has created notable non-comics work. I admit I'm a fan, though. — AKADriver ☎ 21:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
