Purple Pussy
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Closest thing to notability is a lawsuit from the artist. No reliable sources found beyond that. Webcomic hasn't won any notable awards, nor does it meet any WP:WEB criterion. Last AFDs were three years ago. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:44, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I guess it must have some notability. It's a webcomic who was controversial, won an award, and was up for the earlier part of last decade, who's had a page since late 2005. By the way, you're wrong about this being it's second nomination. It's actually the third. J390 (talk) 16:45, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The fact that it's had a page since 2005 is immaterial. Also, I know it's the 3rd nomination; blame Twinkle. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:57, 18 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete Fails WP:N by lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Neither notable as a webcomic nor for the WP:ONEVENT of accusing another artist of plagiarism one time. Note that contrary to the keep comment above, this has not "won an award"; it instead "was a short-listed nomination in the 2004 Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards." In other words, it got maybe as few as 4 or 5 votes in an online voting contest organized and run by the comic's own web host, and then didn't even win this little-known, non-independent "award."

 * Delete There are no reliable sources about the comics besides the ones about the Todd Goldman incident. It also did not win an WCCA which IS a notable and independent award. --Novil Ariandis (talk) 09:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment although I could not find any reliable sources except for comixtalk, I propose re-purposing this as Dave Kelly (cartoonist), after heavy pruning to just the verifiable claims and adding mentions of his other works: Living In Greytown (salon.com mention) and Shmorky. -84user (talk) 14:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds like an excellent idea to me. J390 (talk) 22:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
