[edit] Benson (comic strip)

Delete article about a webcomic with no assertion of notability. Gwernol 14:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment This article was prod'ed but the prod notice was removed without comment. Also 194.221.212.20 has been astroturfing spam links to the comic to Wikipedia articles today. Gwernol 14:19, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable. Tristram Baumber and Peter Durston should probably be added as well. IrishGuy 14:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Apologies for 'spam' links earlier today. This was a product of ignorance, and was overzealous and completely out of line. It will not happen again. Prod notice was removed because article was altered in an attempt to increase evidence of notability. This article is not meant as an advertisement for the website, but as a source of information about the cartoon character and strip. It was created in response to a number of queries about said character and strip. It is intended that more information will be added over coming weeks. Please, if the content can be made more suitable for Wikipedia in any way, all suggestions will be taken into account. Googergeiger 15:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, Angela already copied the article over to Wikiasite:comics:Benson. Why not work on it there, and then copy it back when it meets WP:WEB. That's probably the best way to proceed, as I don't think a webcomic created this year and with no Alexa rank is going to be kept. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Understood. Still hoping this won't be deleted, but will work on article at Wikiasite:comics:Benson. Will work on that Alexa rank too. Googergeiger 15:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • This has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 17:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. -- ReyBrujo 20:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
