Black Hood Comics
Black Hood Comics is simply an illustrated checklist of stories in a comic-book series, is done with HTML markup rather than wiki coding, and is contrary to policy Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information --Tenebrae 14:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although the article is atrociously written, that's not why we put things up for AfD. There's a precedent for Golden Age comics to be worthy of Wikipedia articles: see Comic Cavalcade, Phantom Lady, All Star Comics, Impact (comic), Blackhawk (comics), All-American Comics, Feature Funnies, Doll Man, Spider Widow, Black Fury, Marvel Boy, Yellow Claw, etc., etc. This one just needs to be overhauled. wikipediatrix 23:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a question of Golden Age worthiness; I created the All-Winners Squad and Mystic (comics) articles, among others. The Black Hood Comics article is simply annotated checklist with a sentence or two up top, and I can do no better than to quote knowledgeable fellow editor Chris Griswold who said in a discussion of this very thing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics: "Checklist-style listings of plots by issue are not valid for inclusion in WP:CMC artic. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There are other sources and wikis for information such as that." Remove the checklist, and this is less than a stub.-- Tenebrae 23:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I just rewrote it. Check it out and hit refresh. wikipediatrix 00:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Keep - Somewhat notable Golden Age comic. Has the potential to be expanded by other editors. Serpent-A 02:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Rewrite (as Freddie Prinze used to say) lookin' gooooood. --Tenebrae 06:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
