[edit] Wally and Osborne

Wally and Osborne (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Does not meet WP:WEB standards for notability.

  • The content itself has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
  • The website or content has not won a notable independent award from either a publication or organisation.
  • The content is not distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.

    • Note to closing admin - the series is serialized on Funbrain.com, an insanely popular website, and the comic is also known as "On the Rocks" - Perhaps more popularly known at that title. Therefore, the comic meets WP:WEB and the nomination was flawed. WhisperToMe 05:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per my own nomination. - Francis Tyers · 18:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment "The content is not distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." - What about Funbrain? Funbrain [1], rank 4,200, serializes this series. EDIT: Wikipedia article is at FunBrain.com - By the way, the comic is printed here: http://www.funbrain.com/comics/comic_ontherocks.html WhisperToMe 21:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Number 2 - Did you check to see how the title "On the Rocks" fared? I googled and I have these results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22On+the+Rocks%22+webcomic+-wikipedia&btnG=Search - See, the title changed, so you may not get many hits with the new title. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22On+the+Rocks%22+%22Tyler+Martin%22+-wikipedia&btnG=Search gets 33,000 WhisperToMe 22:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Webcomics-related deletions. -- SkierRMH 02:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. What's with this spree of cut-and-paste furry webcomic deletions and content-free "delete" votes? The irony is that this "keep" vote is itself content-free, I'm mainly just getting frustrated at the apparent lack of due diligence that is being exercised here. Bryan Derksen 08:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The series, in fact, meets WP:WEB due to the serialization at Funbrain.com AND the actual popularity (through the old On The Rocks title) WhisperToMe 14:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Second Bryan Derksen who is in accordance with my own mantra: Wikipedia editors are overzealous at deleting webcomic entries. Lee M 03:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N, lacks multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself. WP:NOT an internet guide. -- Dragonfiend 08:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless sourced... Addhoc 13:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Sourced. See External Links. TylerMartin 16:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
