Faux Pas (webcomic)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unremarkable online comic strip. Google search on "Faux Pas" "Robert Carspecken" shows only 77 unique results, mostly Wiki mirrors or primary sources. Awards do not appear to be notable. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:54, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems to fail criteria for WP:WEB. The only thing that might keep it is that it won an Ursa Major Award, although that doesn't really seem to be enough of a major award to keep it. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:35, 15 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Keep - a Google search on "Faux Pas" "Maragaret Carspecken" returns a much higher number of results - over 1600, from a wider variety of sources. mwalimu59 (talk) 04:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - more sources and a wider range, yes, but I've gone through the first ten pages of the search you posted and have yet to find anything that would pass WP:RS.... MikeWazowski (talk) 04:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Getting a lot of ghits is irrelevant since a lot of things can get a lot of ghits and still be considered non-notable. That doesn't prove notability per Wikipedia guidelines. Like Mike said, you have to have reliable sources to prove notability and at this point in time I can't find anything that would qualify as a reliable source.

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage by independent third party sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:WEB and WP:NOTE. No coverage at all in reliable sources, no major award wins, no nothing. Rangoondispenser (talk) 16:28, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
