Viper Comics
AfDs for this article:

None of the non-primary sources in the article discuss the company "Viper Comics" in any depth. They tend to just be brief mentions of comics noting that the comic was published by Viper. The information also appears to be out of date - I can't find evidence that the company is still operating, for example - so if it is not notable it would be better to remove the unverifiable article.

 * Hmm.... this is weird. On the one hand, HenryCrun is revealing that there isn't much verifiable documentation on the company itself, which I haven't looked into how true that is. On the other hand, the last nomination that wasn't that long ago basically came to a Strong Keep consensus, and their works have been covered as adaptations plus becoming adapted in other media by major companies by several sources, plus they've even been interviewed in magazines. I don't have a strong vote, but I'm leaning keep given my previously-stated reasoning 👨x🐱 (talk) 02:40, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking at the previous nomination, this was in 2007 when the idea of 'notability' was less clear, and in particularl there was a strong backlash to deleting articles related to webcomics. Many commentors on the first deletion discussion reference the "webcomics purge" or feel that it's being deleted to make deleting another article "easier". People also cited press releases from the company and forum posts as evidence. That said there is at least one source raised during that discussion that doesn't appear in the current article.
