Greeneyes

nn webcomic, 23 unique Google hits (Greeneyes + JetFuel) which one of the Google links calls a "Seldom-updated web comic", and which JetFuel him/herself says on http://greeneyes.metalbat.com/news.pl "I'm not sure when greeneyes will be back, but I hope that it will be someday. We're very sorry that things are so uncertain". User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against. This webcomic has been running for years and breaks like this are quite normal on long-running webcomics. On the other hand, I find it impressive that just after creating the article and going to commit the second bunch of lines (just one or two minutes passed), I found I already had an edit conflict and it was an AFD request. I find that very unpleasant, it becomes hard to start an article like this.Rvalles 03:27, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To make it even funnier, just after seconds of merging that second commit and the VFD, somebody put it for speedy deletion. Please, let me work on the article, or rather, let me have some grace time to _create_ it at least!.Rvalles 03:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no. See, that's the point, we don't want you to waste your work if the comic is deemed non-notable and the article is deleted. On the other hand, if you create an article on the Comixpedia Wiki it's almost certainly not going to be deleted there. Nifboy 03:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What if the next commit was going to discuss the fact that it was published in the Narobi Times, circulation 7 million, and was translated in 14 African languages? If the original author is still posting it, they obviously believe it's notable, and should at least have the chance to assert that notability.--Prosfilaes 04:15, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Then that should also come up in the AfD discussion, as well as be citable. The point of a Google search is an attempt to find some kind of source that points to the notability of the comic. If it is that notable, then Google should come up with something. Nifboy 07:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On notability, I have to remark I got into it since the authors of other webcomics that I like a lot, Seasons of Constancy and Tsunami Channel, talked about it on the authors' comments under their comics. Since it's interesting, I'll comment on those quotes at the article itself.Rvalles 07:42, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.Rvalles 08:56, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Please dont waiste my time with this kind of noms. Can you please provide the google URL you derice the 23 hit count? --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 03:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Rvalles has already expanded this into a non-stub page. I see reasonable potential for this. -- Znode 08:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bravely, I say delete: It's lavishly illustrated, but I do not see any indication that it is widespread, published, or discussed in other media. Wikipedia is not a web guide nor a web comics guide. If it's very popular within its own world, that's a fine thing, but that would be said also of certain web forums, fan fiction, and micronations. This is a general encyclopedia, and therefore all subjects should have broken out of their own fan bases to a wider, confused world that requires explanation.

Delete - I'm going to go for delete too. For me, being referenced by other comics just doesn't make it stand out from the crowd. - Hahnchen 20:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nn webcomic per nom, Geogre. Eusebeus 22:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom + Hahnchen. Webcomics, by nature, tend towards friendly relations and linking to other webcomics. Not everything linked to by even Slashdot or Penny Arcade are notable. Nifboy 03:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep discrete knowlege should be welcome on wikipedia. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 03:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What the heck does that mean? Discrete knowledge? User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:16, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Probably "not general knownedge", that is, the knownedge that's known not by everybody, but by people into math, physics, webcomics or history.Rvalles 04:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 10:35, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
So far we have three naked "keeps" that don't provide a rational, one "discrete knowlege", and one "don't waiste my time". Wait, that's Cool Cat twice. This has no Alexa, low google for greeneyes webcomic OR Jetfuel, and no other claim to notability barring two tangential references. I recomend delete. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 11:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
