Contested prod. Non-notable webcomic created six months ago. No signs of meeting WP:WEB. COI problems as well, as page created by comic's creator. This promotional piece has gone far enough and should be deleted Aagtbdfoua 19:52, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - completely non notable, and fails WP:WEB. Jayden54 20:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - Non-notable webcomic, article written by the comic's creator, and fails any sort of Notability claim possible on Wikipedia. I've had my own webcomic on the 'net for five months... It's honestly not that big an achievement until you've got lots of readers and media attentions. Lankybugger 20:32, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Josif has lots of readers on his webcomic and i can get them to vouch for him — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmacman (talk • contribs)

I think you're misinterpreting Lankybugger's comment. There is no need to bring readers here to vouch. If you believe this subject is notable enough to merit an article, you should provide sources to demonstrate it meets WP:Notability or WP:WEB. - Aagtbdfoua 23:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I am the creator of Messed Up and I did not make this article I simply edited it. Me and the author of this article have spoken on msn and we don’t understand this whole Notability thing can you be a bit more specific please?? and we will fix the article as soon as we understand. Oh and just because my comic hasn't been going very long doesn't mean you should delete it. Does it?
P.s. This article isn't finished yet there is still alot to do so don’t assume its crap and try to delete it. In future if I make another article I will finish it before I post it so it doesn't get deleted for not having the right stuff. Josifman 00:12, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the best thing to do is first, read WP:WEB and WP:Notability to review the actual notability guidelines. Also, I'd suggest reading Wikipedia:WikiProject_Webcomics and you could also read and ask for advice on the project talk page. I think there is a list of the webcomics in the encyclopedia. I do not suggest picking a random webcomic article and using that as a model, since several of the other articles I looked at didn't seem to be well-sourced, but maybe look at the articles that survived deletion, I think there are links to the previous deletion discussions there, and see how they demonstrated notability. I also didn't know until I read the page that there is another wiki project called Comixpedia, so maybe this article would be acceptable there. - Aagtbdfoua 00:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks sourcing to pass WP:WEB.-- danntm ^T _C 04:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per others above. Anomo 05:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable webcomic, no third-party citations included or likely available, therefore fails notability and WP:WEB. Herostratus 14:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
