It's the internet. All sources listed are easilly checked, notable, and reliable... BECAUSE THEY ARE THERE, yop can check them yourself. in any case, If Wikipedia does not want to ever have webcomics on their site, they should just say so instead of slowly deleting every credible webcomic on their list (it's always by the same person too, isn't it?). Hell, Wikipedia would make it so the sky is green if a few newspapers printed that it was.... doesn't make in any more true.--Fesworks 07:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Here's another post after the discussion was closed. I've seen the notability criteria sink web comic articles before. The problem as I see it is that web comics much like blogs and similar content, doesn't have many reliable sources to help in determining notability. It usually requires sources that don't normally talk about web comics. To give a couple of relevant examples, Instapundit has a reference by Wired magazine and this is cited in the first paragraph of the article. Penny Arcade has some significant citations in the "Critical Reactions" section (MTV online and Entertainment Weekly). You need a few sources with a little heft ("reliability") to publically talk about DMFA before it can pass that notability hurdle. -- KarlHallowell 16:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
