Where the Buffalo Roam (webcomic)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No reliable sources found. Only source is a Usenet post. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 01:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only source (that works) doesn't make it notable enough. Endofskull (talk) 03:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:WEB. You know an article is in serious trouble when the one and only source is a usenet post. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep being one of the first online comics should confer notability. There is nothing wrong with the usenet source for material as old as this (practically pre-web). This search for a printed newspaper source found this preview:
Colorado Daily comic strip draws readers into a ruckus

Claire Martin; Denver Post Staff Writer DENVER POST November 26, 1991

I wonder if the "Find sources" link above should be improved to help find these sources? -84user (talk) 09:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to find more sources I edited the Find Sources link above to this and then clicked the 1990 to 1999 decade and found another newspaper source:

November 12, 1991.

"Boulder newspaper has pulled a comic strip for what he said was sexist depiction of women. ... Hans Bjordahl, ... satirical"

Here is a hopefully more useful link: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL (there's another news source in there for the curious). This search for the author finds a few too. -84user (talk) 11:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC) Added better Find sources links above and added feature request to Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/RFA#Add better Find sources links to AFD/XFD -84user (talk) 11:33, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've improved the sourcing. No more Usenet, six different newspapers. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 20:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after adding of sources. --Novil Ariandis (talk) 22:20, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
