Flaming Guitar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article about a web-published comic fails the WP:WEB guidelines for notability as well as the general guidance. Searching Google and GNews reveals nothing of significance. The comic appears fairly newly created so there may be mileage in an article if it wins some awards or gets published via a recognized notable publisher; however there seems little prospect of notability (in a Wikipedia sense) being addressed in reliable independent sources in the near future. PROD removed so raising for AFD. Fæ (talk) 15:47, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Forget notability: this one runs into verifiability, the cornerstone of the project and one of the few Rules that define a good article instead of getting used as a club by deletion-happy (sorry, past trauma) being intended as a tool to help make good articles. V basically means that the word of an open wiki is not good for much. All articles have to be able to give a proper answer to the question "Says who?" This is no minor issue. Check out the scam attempts after the Boxing Day tsunami, or better yet, don't. Flaming Guitar doesn't seem to have any third-party sources backing it up, nor can we expect it to acquire any in a reasonable length of time. If the authors or other people are interested in acquiring a copy of the article after the AfD closes, feel free to ask me or another admin. --Kiz o r  19:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete non-notable web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 06:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as non-notable web content. It will take a lot more than a discussion on a web forum before this can be remotely considered for notability. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:03, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
