Non-notable comic book. Could not find any secondary sources. Anbu121 ( talk me ) 14:56, 28 July 2012 (UTC)


 * This is the link for the book, please let me know if this is fine. http://www.rajcomics.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_rc.tpl&product_id=12529&category_id=10468&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2&vmcchk=1&Itemid=2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vishalmysore (talk • contribs) 23:06, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Unfortunately that's a link to a merchant site that merely shows that the comic exists and is available for sale. I don't think anyone is really arguing that the comic does or doesn't exist, just that it isn't notable per Wikipedia's guidelines. You'd have to show independent and secondary sources that talk about the comic such as a review of the comic in a newspaper. Be aware though, that not all reviews are equal and that reviews on sites like Amazon or blog reviews by non-notable people aren't considered to be sources that show notability. I recommend WP:NBOOK as a guideline for what a comic would need to show notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:50, 29 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. With the above being said, I wasn't able to find any independent and reliable sources that show that this newly released comic has any notability. It looks like it was released fairly recently (in 2012 at least) and hasn't received any coverage beyond the merchant site and a few primary sources. I'm open to the idea that sources could exist in Hindi that I was unable to find and if they can be shown to both exist and be reliable, I'm willing to change my mind. I just don't think that there are any, not just yet anyway. This looks to be a smaller title as far as the world of comics go, which unfortunately means that it won't get as much coverage as the bigger and flashier comics go.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:53, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete&mdash; per Tokyogirl79. I too am sensitive to the possibility that there may be non-English sources; let's see them if so.  Also, there could be transliteration problems.  However, unless those reasons or others are preventing proper search, I am unable to find independent sources that discuss this comic.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 23:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Indian media is very nascent. Non-English sources are extremely elusive to find. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 23:24, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
