[edit] Rpg-tv

No indication this PA knockoff meets any of our notability guidelines. Contested PROD. --Gwern (contribs) 18:53 20 November 2006 (GMT)

• Comment. This "PA knockoff" receives thousands of hits every week, is featured on joystiq on a weekly basis and is becoming a staple read for gaming enthusiasts across the web. Delete the entry if you really want, this page is doing no harm except to inform people about the comic. The comic recently surpassed 100 strips. --Trueplayer 16:02 21 November 2006

Thousands of hits is not enough: the Alexa ranking is a puny 3,548,702. While Alexa has many problems, this indicates there is not much traffic to the webcomic; I'd also like to note that Penny Arcade, for example, is ranked at 1,706. Even if it had a lot of traffic, nothing in WP:WEB mentions that. Even if one is very generous and reads a few blog mentions on Joystiq as an instance of fulfilling the first criterion, where's the second substantial mention in the reliable independent source? And the number of strips has absolutely nothing to do with notability. --Gwern (contribs) 02:04 22 November 2006 (GMT)

• Delete, no verified information from third-party reputable sources, Wikipedia is not an internet guide. -- Dragonfiend 20:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Look, everybody and his cousin has a webcomic now. The entry cost to make a webcomic is very, very low - much lower than that required to get a strip into print. (And we don't even cover every print comic.) We have to draw the line somewhere or we will eventually have thousands of articles on webcomics. This webcomic does not meet WP:WEB as near as I can find. Herostratus 17:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
