Fur Will Fly
This article was previously AFDed at Articles for deletion/Fur Will Fly, that discussion resulted in a no consensus after only 3 editors' input. Nothing has changed since my last nomination, only that the Alexa rank for the comics hosting site has falled to 550,000. The article contains no reliable sources. We should be applying the WP:WEB guidelines as strictly to webcomics as we do with other websites. A guideline that this webcomic fails. Note that the webcomic author Brian Daniel has been included in this nomination - Hahnch e  n 00:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per above -- Alias Flood 01:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, and strong delete the author. Esteffect 01:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: Essentially the same format as the above: the article merely says X = Y and then goes into excessive detail reiterating the thing.  What is missing from this is the significance of X.  What effect has it had?  What notoriety has it gained?  This is dangerously close to an A7 speedy delete candidate.  Geogre 02:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This has been listed on WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 02:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The comic has been around for 6 years and has attained a decent following.  In fact, the fact that it has an Alexa rank in the first place helps it's case...most webcomics probably wouldn't even rank in the top million, if at all.  In addition, the article has already survived one AfD, and has been around for a year.  The article could use some improvement, but that's not a delete reason.  Oh, and Strong Delete the author, who really should have his own nomination.--UsaSatsui 02:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. comic is not in the top 100,000 websites http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&compare_sites=&y=t&q=&size=medium&range=&url=www.furwillfly.com --Ageo020 02:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I can find lots of pages not in the top 100,000 websites. I don't recall Alexa rank being a criteria for deletion anyway. --UsaSatsui 03:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Alexa can be used as an indicator to how popular a website is. A rank of 550,000 suggests that it isn't, it's by no means a be all and end all, if you look at some of the wikilinks in my nomination, you'll see that one of them led to a 10,000 ranked website which was recently deleted.  However, the subject of this article really needs some outside independent sources.  As Geogre mentions, the article contains no assertion of notability outside that it exists. - Hahnch  e  n 03:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, delete author per nom (but do a better job with multiples next time, this almost qualifies as a drive-by). --Dhartung | Talk 06:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: Transwiki'd to WikiFur: Fur Will Fly. I would suggest that if other such comic articles are deleted, moving a copy over to us should be considered before the actual deletion, as we do not have Wikipedia's notability/verifiability requirements, instead welcoming all furry fandom topics. We are also better-equipped to improve the relevant articles. --GreenReaper 04:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
