Talk:The Dropouts

Speedy Delete - A7
Okay, folks. So... this article meets all the criteria for a speedy deletion but one. See, it's an article that doesn't provide much context and definitely doesn't state why the subject is important and belongs in Wikipedia... however it's not about a person, band, or organization. I note that at some point in the past, this article was improperly deleted due to CSD-A7. I agree, the subject doesn't seem to belong in Wikipedia, so... I'll start with an attempt to WP:PROD. &mdash;  X   S   G   00:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm removing the prod tag because a Google Books search indicates that this has been covered by a paper encyclopedia (The World Encyclopedia of Comics), which is a basic indication that it should be covered by Wikipedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Inclusion in a specialty encyclopedia doesn't sufficiently indicate notability in my book. I'll review Wikipedia's notability guidelines to confirm and will send to AfD if I find that Wikipedia agrees or is ambiguous. &mdash;   X   S   G   10:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect seemed most appropriate, as I couldn't find any mentions of "The Dropouts" without "Howard Post" being the primary subject. &mdash;  X   S   G   10:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
