Can you find public, verifiable information about
these webcomics
in respectable secondary sources?
There is a problem that there is a systemic bias against (for
example) academic and journalistic reporting on new forms of culture
(witness the coverage of computer games in the mainstream press).
There are established magazines and other media sources which routinely
talk about computer games.
So I would support being more lenient in these cases
if necessary,
and allowing argument supported by primary sources if done well, and
not pushing political points but being descriptive or linking related
threads (post apocalyptic storylines; Manga characterisation, fierce
rabbits or whatever).
"Is noted outside of the community it originated" is one of the things I
tried to pin to the "notable" tag (foolish me). By that I mean: "has
received attention outside of its own fandom".
So, a website which sells widgets and is unknown outside of the widget
community should not have an article; a website which is reasonably
well-known in the widget community should be mentioned in the article on
widgets; and a website which sells widgets, well known within the widget
community, /which has been Slashdotted/, could have it's own article.
