Earthsong[edit]

This webcomic does not appear to meet the notability criteria listed at WP:WEB. Specifically, evidence does not appear to presented within the article that "the content itself has been the subject of 'multiple' non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself" (emphasis mine). Whether the publishing of this webcomic by Seven Seas Entertainment qualifies it as being "distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators" is unclear.

I am also nominating the author's article for deletion, because she is not notable except for the webcomic:

Keep and merge per WP:N and WP:V. Merge the author's article into the publication's article. The webcomic is also a book, published by a mainstream publisher: Seven Seas is an imprint of Macmillan, acquired as part of their expansion into graphic novels as noted in Publisher's Weekly. The book has been reviewed by at least a couple independent sites. The author though is not notable other than for this book and webcomic, therefore the author's article should be merged and redirected to the book's article. For accomplishing the merge, there is very little content in the author's article, it could be placed directly into the book's article as a section, or placed on the talk page of the book's article for editors to integrate whatever of it is not duplicated info. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 03:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
