So, a website which sells widgets and is unknown outside of the widget community should not have an article
I must ask: why on earth not, if the info is third-party verifiable? How is one to research an area one is new to without cues to such things? If you're interested in an area, why *wouldn't* you be interested in things of interest within that area?
I see no reason to deliberately reduce our possible usefulness.
The issue of webcomic articles mostly being pretty crappy is another matter, and an important one. But your proposal seems an overgeneralisation of a way to use deleting the whole article as a tool to solve *editorial* problems. The problem there being that many people think an article being deleted means another article on that topic can never be created, ever. (Some even think an article being deleted means its content shouldn't be allowed in new articles anywhere else on the encyclopedia, which I can't make sense of.)
