[edit] Silver Koopa and Friends

• Delete. Link broken and comic nowhere to be found. Possibly self-promotion. Unimportant and unnotable comic. Out of almost 2500 comics in my VFBLOSC, why this? Nestea 06:07, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I think Nestea pretty much covered all that needed to be said about this vote for deletion. The entry itself seems like shameless self-promotion through an obscure medium, in addition to being something that lacks any real following anywhere, as far as I can tell. Just look at some of the other Wiki topics, then compare the followings between this and any other. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't seem important enough to need a Wikipedia topic. . .

• Delete agree with Nestea. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:25, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete, there is absolutly no reason to. First of all, The link is not broken. Second of all, it is unlikely that this is self promotion. It is a webcomic on the internet that many people view for their enjoyment. There for, this article deserves to be on Wikipedia. Give me one good reason why you think this is self promotion?
• Do Not Delete Hello, I am the creator of this comic. So what? It isnt as popular as Bob and George but it dosn't deserve to have its article deleted because of that. Just think about. I plan on building my website to the popularity of Bob and George one day. Just because it isnt very well known now dosn't mean it won't be someday. Also, I did NOT write this article for self promotion. Not once do I say to visit the site. I made this article because SK&F is a part of the huge world of media. It deserves to have an article.

  • Okay, so it might not be self-promotion. It's still vanity. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for things popular and/or notable, not for things that MIGHT BECOME popular and/or notable! If you want to make your site popular, that's alright. But for now, don't think that just because you try to make your site popular doesn't mean you can go rank yourself up with Bob and George and 8-Bit Theater. Nestea 21:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and doesn't carry articles because their subjects will be famous "one day". --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 22:46, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Well since it looks like it will wind up being deleted let me say this: This article WILL be back someday. Just you wait.
    • Actually, we hope it does some back someday, once notability has been established. As for why we don't take articles based on potential future notability, just think: every kid in preschool right now could grow up and be the one to find a cure for cancer... but obviously we can't have articles on them all just because they might do something someday. Anyway, you've got a good start to a quality web comic. Work on it, promote it, and keep at it. I hope to see you (and it) back on Wikipedia soon.
