Article about what appears to be a non-notable web-comic. Salimfadhley (talk) 20:22, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's...not a web-comic, but a long-running web show. I've been meaning to do more work on the article, but real life has caught up with me. DodgerOfZion (talk)


 * Delete - yeah, not a comic but a web series about comics. That said, I can't see any evidence it is a notable web series. I couldn't find any sources that could be used to establish notability, but if DodgerOfZion has some they should be considered. As such, Delete, unless someone can produce some proper sources.

 * Keep. This is a case where Wikipedia's notability standards creak at the seams. While there may be little coverage in traditional sources to establish notability, in the world of the Internet this is one of the things that "everybody knows it", and is discussed widely. The trouble is do we WP:IAR on that basis - that the article is likely to be something people are looking for information on having heard about it on the Internet? I'd say yes, even thought that's a borderline WP:ITSUSEFUL argument; but of course, your mileage may vary. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of reliable sources that establish notability. Buck Winston (talk) 21:04, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is the only traditional source I could pluck from the interwebs regarding notability. DodgerOfZion (talk)
 * Question: Since individual notability is a concern here and the series is featured on That Guy with the Glasses, would it be worthwhile to redirect this to that article? There's already a section on this webcomic on the article and it actually has more content there than it does here. We can use the one traditional source found by DoZ in the main article and pretty much leave it at that.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:09, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing on google as a reliable coverage, nothing in google books or news. Does not meetWP:WEBCRIT-Wikishagnik (talk) 05:28, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Does not meet WP:GNG. I searched around and could find no evidence of secondary-source coverage aside from the limited, insignificant coverage mentioned above. --Batard0 (talk) 08:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
