Striving for Mediocrity
There's already discussion on the VfD pages about whether university newspapers are of encyclopedic value. A comic strip in a university newspaper is of even less encyclopedic value. RickK 08:37, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, comic strips are not inherently encyclopedic. Wyss 21:44, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable enough, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 02:55, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. College newspaper comic strips specifically are not inherently notable. In general, they run for about three years max, the artist graduates, and life goes on for artist and audience alike.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 03:11, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
