Higher Earth
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Comic series which lasted one issue doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG - coverage is mostly routine reviews. Perhaps merging into Sam Humphries is an WP:ATD? MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:49, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Nomination withdrawn. Apologies, I got confused from looking at an older version and through that only one issue had been published. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There is no such thing as routine reviews. Reliable sources that review comic books, review it, that counts towards the general notability guidelines.  I found additional coverage of it at https://www.digitalspy.com/comics/a366049/higher-earth-tackled-by-sam-humphries/ and then they wrote an article about how well it sold https://www.digitalspy.com/comics/a388345/higher-earth-2-named-as-boom-studios-fastest-seller/ and IGN reviews it at https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/10/higher-earth-1-review The founder of Bleeding Cool reviewed every single issue of it https://bleedingcool.com/comics/review-higher-earth-4/   D r e a m Focus  09:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Comic series which lasted one issue - our article is only 400 words, and somehow the nominator couldn't read closely enough to see it ran for 9 issues? Clearly, no BEFORE effort was made. Per Dream Focus, there are no routine reviews, certainly not of books from this publisher in 2012 when it was still struggling to be a player. (That same source discusses a unique sales promotion used for this series, BTW). Here are a few other articles of reviewing / covering the series: 1 2 3 4 I easily found interviews with the creators that could be used to beef up a publication section 1 2 3 4. The series was notable in the publisher's history. Sales numbers are available at Chomicron. Surely that's enough to snow close this, right? Argento Surfer (talk) 12:52, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
