[edit] Webcomic genres

Webcomic genres (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article doesn't say anything unique about genres in webcomics; in fact, most of the article simply tells us that yes, webcomics can have genres, too. So what? All works of fiction can be said to have a genre, there's nothing special or unique about webcomics in this instance (and I say that as a fan of webcomics). Especially when of the only three examples given (absurdist fiction, dark comedy, and sprite comic), the first two are present in a wide variety of fiction outside of webcomics (and are not particularly widespread or noteworthy within webcomics) and the third admits that it isn't even a true genre in the first place, merely an art style! We already have categories for different genres within webcomics--and an article on sprite comics, too--that should be more than enough to satisfy any possible demand for this topic.

  • Delete unless any reliable sources specifically about webcomic genres can be found. Fram (talk) 12:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree with the above. I also believe that article is a bit biased, and fails to meet notability. ― LADY GALAXY 15:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: I've been impressed with how many opinionated articles there are here because of this AFD process, and I've only been a 'research' user to date. Yeah, this should go, because it really doens't seem too useful. --Revanche (talk) 02:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep & Rename - List of Webcomic genres would seem more appropriate and more helpful for someone searching for examples. That would also allow for further expansion. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 07:23, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
