Concession (webcomic)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable subject lacking reliable sources. It didn't even receive any awards from the fandom it narrowly aims at. Weissbaer (talk) 13:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - unfortunately. I hate to see such a long and decently written article deleted, but it is simply not notable. All of the sources are similar, the only really notable one being cracked.com, which probably doesn't count since it's a satire website anyway. It's received no awards for anything, and the only media coverage seems to be the article on cracked (where, in fact, the comic is made fun of) and a panel at Anthrocon. While Anthrocon is notable, considering it has a Wikipedia article, I don't think that's enough to save it. I'm really on the fence about this article, and I feel bad voting delete on three articles who are covered by a WikiProject I'm a part of in just as many days, but rules are rules. I may change to keep if others post convincing information. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs 15:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete - I personally do not think the page should be deleted yet, yes the comic may be up for an award shortly with the Ursa Majors, but even so, exactly how much notability in required? I realize the commentary on cracked.com wasn't exactly a favorable review, but it is an outside source of sorts and is referenced correctly, Concession does receive criticism for what its about, and should count as a reference nonetheless. Immelmann himself has worked on the Further Confusion con book, making himself more notable as published in the book itself, and as Baron said, Concession was featured in a panel for Anthrocon 2009. I honestly think that should be taken into consideration to being notable enough. Not to mention the comic has spawned two spin-off projects, both of which have been ongoing for over a year each, and the comic hosts its own server for all three of these projects, as well as a few others that needed hosting. I'm not saying the comic couldn't be more notable, but I think the references I've provided so far should be enough to keep the article from deletion, not every topic given an article on Wikipedia has earned awards.

 * First off, let me start by saying that I do not consider the Anthrocon panel notable. Anyone can run a panel at Anthrocon, so long as it is approved by staff. Meaning, someone completely un-notable may be running it, which makes it's inclusion as proof kind of iffy in my eyes. Anyone can run a panel about anything. Someone talking about something at a non-business convention doesn't really make something notable.
 * Furthermore, WP:WEB, which applies to this article, being a webcomic... well, it fails all three categories. It has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial sources (the only one in the article is Cracked, and being a satire site who was merely making fun of the comic, I'm not sure that even applies). It hasn't won a major award (yes, it may win one eventually, but it has not won one - one could argue that Ursa Major isn't well-known, as well, even if it did win), and the content is not distributed via a media that is not controlled by the owners.
 * I realize the comic hosts it's own server, but that is actually a negative per WP:WEB notability rules, since it is owned by the creator of the comic in question. Hosting other things does not matter, since all of the other things it hosts are just as non-notable as Concession is. Besides, all of this is invalid - the article is about Concession the webcomic, not the server Concession is hosted on. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs 16:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete: At least not yet. It depends or not it wins the Ursa Major. Should it win, that's definitely something notable. Webwyre (talk) 13:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC) — Webwyre (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete and Userfy Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. One award does not necessarily establish notability.  What kind of coverage will winning that award generate? --Bejnar (talk) 01:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
