Wikipedia has way too many articles on websites, webcomics and other types of internet content -- likely thousands.
Too many on these subjects, or too few on "good" subjects?
The problem is that around 95% of those articles are not sourced (or they are sourced from forum and blog posts) and at least 70% won't be able to be sourced because they were never mentioned in the mainstream press -- and probably very few were mentioned in books and journals.
If the subject is of trivial importance the sources should matter less. Since when did the mainstream press become obligatory?
I deleted about 50 of them, which looked totally non-notable, but if I had to apply the rules, at least 80% would have to be deleted for lacking notability claims.
Makes you sound like a regular crusader.
Can anyone suggest any solution to this?
Yes. Spend more time _adding_ good content, and stop wasting your own time trying to get rid trivial material. If the article starts with, "This article is about a webcomic," the readers are forwarned about the value of the article.
