Should ComixTalk have a Wikipedia Entry? Deletion Debate Underway…. Again!

I just found that someone had started an entry for ComixTalk on Wikipedia from a google search alert email (I get a bunch of those everyday – its one way I try to track news).

And of course it’s up for deletion. I think it’s funny – the new article up for deletion is a lot less informative then the one that was deleted a couple years ago but the deletion discussion this time is almost… balanced. Sure Dragonfiend still has a thing for deleting it (I think s/he led the charge on deleting the original Comixpedia entry actually) but others make better arguments for notability than I could be bothered to work up.

If you’re interested check out the deletion discussion here and the new article here (the new article, if it stays, will need a heck of a lot of work).
