I was not quite baffled, but definitely more than a little bit surprised when I saw [[Roadkill Bill]] had been kept, but I've gotten over it. I think that's an important survival skill that most people take for granted. Good luck and happy editing.
I'm surprised, myself (I had not checked back, nobody likes a whining author). That is a borderline case, and I'd be the first to admit it. RKB is not a notable comic by comparison with, say, Dilbert, but it is unusual (maybe unique?) in that it is an openly polemical car-free advocacy comic which was published in a mainstream paper, so that is a claim to fame. I would not have cried if the community had decided the claim was too weak, although the vendetta against the author by at least one editor is somewhat aggravating.
I have had articles deleted before now for failing to establish notability. I am philosophical about it; as a deletionist it would be hypocritical to be otherwise. If I really want the world to know about such things then I'll put them on my own website.
