Return of the Wiki

It looks like Comixpedia.org is really picking up steam — adding articles at a much healthier rate. (You, yes you well-informed ComixTalk reader, should add something to an entry there)

I’ve had some recent discussions about Wikipedia again and I am trying to recall some of the more outrageous deletions of notable webcomics entries from Wikipedia. I definitely recall the back and forth circus over Girly, the ridiculous effort to delete Ted Rall’s anthology of webcomic creators: Attitude 3, Kris Straub’s "experiment" in Wikipedia deletion follies, FLEEN’s explanation of "notability logic" in action, and Terrence Marks wrote a post listing a large number of deleted entries. Hey let’s even throw in there the fact that the entry for Comixtalk itself got deleted.

If there are any other good examples of notable webcomics being actually deleted or subjected to a tortuous deletion review please post a link or a summary here. I’m not trying to resurrect the angst of earlier times but there are folks inside the Emerald City of Wiki-land who are trying to bring some sanity to the deletion process and are looking for help in compiling evidence.
