Liberal Fascism (graphic novel)[edit]

Fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. May not even be real book, but looks like an attempt to gain Google PageRank (aka Google bomb). No ISBN number, no author listed, etc. Even if real, not-notable. — Steven Andrew Miller (talk) 16:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is very much a real, though self-published, book. It is available here: http://www.lulu.com/content/1811025 Keyboard Kommandos was a long-running and very popular webcomic, as Googling "Keyboard Kommandos" indicates. At least one of the strips was nominated for a Koufax Award. The proprietor of the website has taken down the on-line versions of the cartoons and created the book in question. While the book, by itself, may not be notable by Wikipedia, the web comic most certainly was, and as the book is the only form in which the webcomic is presently available, I believe that it should have a wikipedia page. Let me add that I have no interest (except as a consumer) in The Poorman or the book in question. Thanks for your consideration! BenA (talk) 21:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Self-published is virtually always non-notable. Edward321 (talk) 00:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unfortunately the Koufax Awards did not survive AFD so that's not a claim to notability. This wasn't a standalone webcomic, it was a feature in the blog The Poor Man Institute (which has now taken the name Liberal Fascism, I guess, for branding/culture-jamming purposes). thepoorman.net does not have an article, either. At best this is an additional bit that could be in such an article should it be sourced well enough to pass muster. I dunno if it could be, though. --Dhartung | Talk 08:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
