Who care if that article ''The Jar'' get deleted from wikipedia. If wikipedia don't want this webcomic article, than www.comixpedia.orghttp://www.comixpedia.orgcan have it. In that situtation everyone win! Because Wikipedia don't want this particular article, another wiki licensed under the GNUFDL can have it. In this case, an encyclopedia dedicated to webcomics who don't care about notablity/popluarity of a webcomic. In fact, we already tranwiki the article "The Jar" with credits to Wikipedia. See http://www.comixpedia.org/index.php/The_Jar So absolutely no harm done..

I just came across this AfD when a link to the deleted article was removed from another I had watchlisted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Jar
I never read the webcomic The Jar myself, but I know that it existed and was popular, and also that when Kittyhawk moved on to other projects the webcomic's archive was taken offline. The nominator saw the resulting lack of Google results and nominated it solely on account of "none notability." As a result of this grand consensus of four voters, three of whom explained their vote with "nn" and one with "as per nom", Wikipedia will forever more lack an article on this topic. Kind of a pity since I've always been curious about what I missed - I've been told that it had a better plot than Kittyhawk's current strip, which survived a VfD last year.
There were tons of great ideas being kicked around on this mailing list a few weeks back for how to change the deletion process, either as a short-term experiment or long-term reform, has it all quietly passed from everyone's radars now? Or is there some other forum the discussion moved to that I missed? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
