Friend Bear
I actually deleted an article with the same subject at Articles for deletion/Friend Bear (comic) without knowing that this other article existed. They're not copies of one another, and nor is it a recreation. But I already outlined the reasons for the nomination in the previous AFD, and I'll copy them here: The webcomic can be seen here, there is no Alexa rank, although the article claims that it served 20,000 unique visitors a month. Maybe that's true, but there's no external sources about the subject that I can find. That's probably because it is not a notable website or piece of work. - Hahnch e  n 23:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No google hits, the site's forum has only a couple hundred comments since 1999. A very persistent weird little page that has somehow managed to *not* become a web phenomenon and non-notable Dina 00:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per other AfD. I like the sample panel though. &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Rediect Erechtheus: how can you delete and redirect? Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You delete the article -- so that the current stuff isn't available in the history -- then recreate it as a redirect. In point of fact, after a delete, anyone would be free to create the redirect as a purely editorial decision; thus, it would be helpful if everybody specifying "redirect" would clarify if they really thought leaving the current article available in the history was a good idea. &mdash;Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, I specified "redirect"; leaving the history is not a problem for me. Powers T 23:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
