This article was previously deleted, even though one Wikipedia editor put forward strong and reasoned objections to its deletion and the ratio was only 5 to 2. I have undeleted because I agree with these reasons; Dumbrella certainly passes the common criteria for notability (83,200 hits on Google), is a large forum community, and each of the individual comics which are part of the group are highly notable in the field of webcomics. I have also expanded and updated the article.--Eloquence* 07:09, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

For historical (and hence encyclopedic) reasons, could someone add something about former members of Dumbrella? For instance, wasn't Chris Onstad's Achewood once part of the collective? Or am I mixed up? --Michael Kinyon 08:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Onstad was not part of dumbrella, rather he just had his forums hosted on dumbrella's servers. Chris Furniss - weeklygeekshow.com 19:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
