Just as a quick thought/addendum/pointing-out-thing, it might be important to keep in mind that readership of webcomics waxes and wanes, and webcomics "die" from time to time. This should probably be specified as a 5000-person audience at any point in the webcomic's run, since otherwise webcomics might get unfairly deleted based on current popularity as opposed to "historical" popularity.
Oh good, that means we can delete all the articles on Pokemon, B-grade afternoon soaps, one-hit wonders, and the Roman Empire, right? *ducks*
I think one of us is failing to understand the other somehow - my addendum was supposed to make it _harder_ to delete webcomic articles (by reminding people not to forget about historical popularity as opposed to just what the readership happens to be right at this moment), and it had nothing to do with any of those other things you mention at all. I don't see any connection.
Of course, the "*ducks*" at the end of your comment also suggests that this wasn't meant seriously, so perhaps I'm simply failing to get the joke. :)
