In case some of you have not been paying attention, a group of Wikipedians have been trying to delete articles on Webcomics, and are (at times) proudly displaying their kills. While this is "technically" not against Wikipedia policy, these certian users tend to base their opinions on what is "Worthy" and "Unworthy" solely on Alexa Ratings. While this is again, the accepted system, at time they refuse to count other factors, and consider that many of the articles on Webcomics are purely advertising.

Plese note your favorite webcomic's articles on Wikipedia, and if a VFD is started by any of the following poeple, please petition to keep it, help edit it to better standards, or at least tell me in this thread so I can try. According to their system, the article on Indie Tits should be deleted, and Jeph's page should be merged with the QC article.

I Will update as I find more. We must be extra careful to argue points with these and others fairly and not get anrgy, as that furthers causes of Deletion.

Good Luck

While this person appears to be a flaming moron, I don't know if sending a bunch of people over to watch for VfDs (who wouldn't already have anyway) is a good idea. Some things *are* non-notable, and people should vote because they care about Wikipedia, not because they care about the subject of their pet article.

Best thing to do, probably, is work on WP:COMIC. That talk page, though... my eyes, the burning. Let's spend 20 pages of heated back-and-forth coming to earth-shattering conclusions like "you probably shouldn't write the article for your own comic, hurrrrr!"!

That said, I will gladly vote against *any* VfD mooted entirely on the basis of numbers. The google test is something you use to support evidence, not evidence itself.

It's a waste of time. Just use the http://www.comixpedia.org">ComixPedia webcomics wiki instead.

Yes, yes, but July 8th (about a week after that) was the day I decided that Jeph is awesome enough not to be pranked with, and set it as my duty to keep QC vandal-free and stuff, as a way to clear my consience.

And we are all sooo relieved that Jeph is "awesome enough" now for you to honour QC's wiki article with your mad guardian skillz.
