This webcomic does not appear to meet the notability criteria listed at WP:WEB. It has been deleted at least once in the past, but since recreated. Robin S (talk) 11:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Claims to have won DragonCon's "Most Outstanding New Webcartoonist" award. If verified, that would meet WP:WEB. Hiding T 15:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all of this unsourced original research. I can't find anything buried in all that unsourced plot summary or in my library that would suggest we have anything close to the type of sources that would allow us to write a neutral, well-sourced encyclopedia article on this topic. If we manage to find a reputable source that describes how this comic won the prestigious DragonCon's "Most Outstanding New Webcartoonist" award, that will get us at best a sentence, not an encyclopedia article. --Dragonfiend (talk) 19:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And from such tiny acorns do mighty oaks grow. Let us not forget we are here to be a work in progress, not expect the finished article.  Whilst I don;t disagree that the article needs work, I feel I have to challenge such statements for the contentious rhetoric they are. If such a source can be found, it would then perhaps be wise to include material from the primary source, per our policies, in order to write as best we can about a subject and avoid systemic bias. We could, as an alternative, redirect to a list entry, but we appear to have a restriction with web-comic listing where no entry can appear on a list without an article.  Somewhat circular and restricting approach, I suggest, and counter to policy. Hiding T 10:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
