Shadowbinders

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

Sources are mostly the comic itself, social media, or unreliable sources (YouTube, Kickstarter, self published blogs). What little is sourced is mostly WP:COATRACK about an unrelated Kickstarter campaign. I was unable to find anything better in a WP:BEFORE.

 * Keep multiple sources not as described. Artw (talk) 16:03, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Which ones? The only other secondary source I see that's actually about the comic is 404 and not archived. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:08, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The Houston Chronical, Sequential Tart and the Comics Beat article about the very much related Kickstarter for a start. Artw (talk) 16:33, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep – Weird situation with the Bleeding Cool, Comics Beat, and USA Today article because they don't name the original webcomic that "Crimson Rhen of The True North" is a prequel to. The Gizmodo article does describe the relation, luckily. More importantly, the Chron.com and Sequential Tart show longer-term interest in the subject. The article suggests Comic Book Resources has also mentioned the webcomic, but it seems impossible to confirm this now somehow. ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 18:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: To me this meets notability criteria through coverage in the the Houston Chronicle, Sequential Tart, The Beat, and io9. HenryCrun15 (talk) 01:35, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Sequential Tart and The Beat are considered reliable sources by the webcomics wikiproject's established standards. The Houston Chronicle article looks good to me too. --Kiz o r  22:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Kizor Is there a webcomic equivalent of WP:VGRS? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:42, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Sorry, but IMHO the near trivial coverage of the trolling incicent during the crowdfunding is not sufficient to show this has achieved any wider significance and such. WP:SIGCOV doesn't appear to be met, there's no enduring reception, this hasn't won any awards or received reliable reviews (ping me if you think I am missing some sources and I'll reconsider my vote). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:45, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
