[edit] Troy's Bucket

Troy's bucket was created by high school friends. Its Alexa rank is >2 million, Google search for "Troy's Bucket" cartoon gets around 40 unique hits, no evidence of circulation, significance, no reliable sources cited or evident. Just zis Guy you know? 11:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete: Oh, dear. Buddy article. There is no indication whatever that the article has been or shall be referred to by outside sources. We can call it OR or advertising. Geogre 11:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Unable to locate multiple non-trivial articles by third parties to establish notability, only a few passing blog references. Parenthetically, "Troy's Bucket" +webcomic gets only 20 distinct hits, wider search results for "Troy's Bucket" are complicated by a band of the same name that appears to hog most of the resulting Ghits.

  • Comment - There is a band by this name. If this article is kept, maybe it could be re-created at Troy's Bucket (webcomic), and a Troy's Bucket (band) article could be created. Troy's Bucket would become a disambig page. Finally, I think it's important to say, Goonies Don't Give Up. ;) PT (s-s-s-s) 17:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom -- JerryLewisOverdrive 18:49, 22 July 2006 (UTC) And I wrote the damn thing. I've moved the article to Troy's Bucket (webcomic), which can be argued for deletion there (and more than likely will be), but I agree that this one can be killed mercilessly. Oh, and "created by high school friends" means simply that - the creators of the comic were all friends in high school.
  • Delete, does not meet our content policies starting with WP:V. Note that the content has apparently been moved to Troy's Bucket (webcomic) which ought to be deleted as well. -- Dragonfiend

  • Comment 1 To clarify matters, this AfD now covers two articles. There's Troy's Bucket, which is currently a disambiguation page and Troy's Bucket (webcomic), which is an article for the webcomic. Warning: Administrivia follows. Initially Troy's Bucket was just about the webcomic and that was the article nominated for deletion. It was later copy-and-paste moved to Troy's Bucket (webcomic), and Troy's Bucket was turned into a dab. To keep contributor attribution in order, I have undone the copy-and-paste and re-implemented it as a proper move; it now exists at Troy's Bucket (webcomic). I split off the edit that created the dab and left it back at Troy's Bucket. Both have AfD tags pointed back here. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 13:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment 2 I have copied this article over to Comixpedia: Troy's Bucket. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 13:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
