Three Panel Soul

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Three Panel Soul is not an important webcomic in the grand scheme of webcomics available. I would think this should be deleted from Wikipedia. This is my first edit on Wikipedia so please fix this if I have done it wrong. Thank you, StevenCases (talk) 00:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC) *Strong Keep As per the above, someone deciding that this is "Not important webcomic" is not grounds for deletion.

 * Strong Keep Not an important webcomic in the grand scheme of webcomics? Is there a textbook on the grand scheme of webcomics? Do we delete Wikipedia articles on webcomics if they aren't important in such a scheme? Sorry, this nomination just strikes me as odd. Sorry if I seem sarcastic, but it seems almost as you think we should delete this article because you don't think the subject is... important? Anyway, I see no reason to delete it unless the notability is challenged, something this AfD hasn't challenged. Sure, it is not an expansive article, but Three Panel Soul is still growing and the article will be expanded in time. --Ifrit (talk) 06:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment - a poorly formed nomination, admittedly, so lets try to express it better. Webcomics, as with publications in this, and other mediums, require reliable, secondary sources in order to meet WP:N. In other words, what is being looked for is a reliable source, for example, reviewing the publication. At present there are no such secondary sources. I am giving it time for the sources to be provided but if they are not forthcoming then this would, in my view, be a delete as clearly failing the notability guidelines.

 * (ec) Comment. What TerriersFan said. I've searched for reliable third-party sources, and I'm not coming up with anything. I'll watchlist this discussion, and if sources are provided while this AfD runs, I'll gladly come back with a "keep" !vote. Otherwise, we have a failure of WP:N. Deor (talk) 01:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nn. No WP:RS so fails per WP:N.--Sting  Buzz Me...   01:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No substantial independent relaible source coverage of the subject has been demonstrated, as required by WP:N. General WP:CRYSTAL, WP:ILIKEIT and WP:IKNOWIT arguments are insifficient reasons for a keep. Nsk92 (talk) 01:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - It might be worth noting that Three Panel Soul is by the same duo behind Mac Hall, a fairly well-known and well-respected web comic. With that in mind (and with a lack of firm guidelines for establishing web or print comic notability), I'd suggest applying the approach taken in music-related articles with the same notability issue (NN side projects of otherwise noteworthy musicians): merge and redirect to the artists' better-known work. 209.97.85.233 (talk) 12:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC) some random dude
 * Merge As I feared the article does seem to fail WP:N. Merging to Mac Hall as per the above comment is the best solution I can see SirBob42 (talk) 22:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. The only problem I have with a merge is that Mac Hall contains only one independent source which doesn't seem to focus on the comic itself, and in a perhaps not thorough enough search, I'm having trouble coming up with anything more (though this award for "best art" might establish some notability if the award itself is at all notable). Neither of the creators of these comics have articles of their own, and I'm not sure that either Mac Hall or Three Panel Soul meets the requirements of WP:RS or WP:N. Someone help me out here.

 * Delete. Mac Hall is notable, but notability is not inherited - this webcomic (so far) isn't. Terraxos (talk) 02:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
