nn comic book blog, fails WP:WEB, alexa of 2,361,475 Giant onehead 03:43, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep 335,000 GHits, which seem mostly appropriate. Admittedly, they seem to almost all be other blogs, but I still think it rolls over the notability line. - Richfife 04:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I really don't think that's a very valid or convincing reason for a keep vote, check this search with the site name and the bloggers name, gets 110 unique hits [1], hope that convinces more. Giant onehead 04:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I disagree. Tomato, tomahto, I guess. - Richfife 04:55, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well then you must be completely retarded then. Giant onehead 05:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for sharing! - Richfife 05:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, notable as a critic within the comics community. Alexa Rank of the older URL joshreads.com is 58,594, which is pretty good for a blog. I found a couple of independent media mentions. And Giant onehead, please remain civil. --Dhartung | Talk 06:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You know something, screw it, I withdraw the nomination. If you want this crap to flood WP, then be my guest. Giant onehead 06:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I'm no fan of blogs (as subject of Wikipedia articles at least), but as fas as they go, this one is noteworthy. Has apparently been a Yahoo pick of the day[2], author is a recognised authority in the comics world (e.g. he was asked for a podcast on this forum[3], he is a contributor to ITworld.com[4], he is referenced on Daily Cartoonist[5], ...).

- Delete, article does not meet WP:WEB. Needs verifiable information from reliable sources. -- Dragonfiend 22:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, this blogger has been quite successful Subwayguy 00:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
