As for your love of [[Elf Only Inn]], I see that (as of 11:00 UTC, 7th September 2005]] you have made a grand total of ZERO edits to that article. Stop bitching about the fact that an article was deleted, and expand the thing.
As far I can see it, the problem is not that web-comic articles are being deleted because the articles themselves are missing some vital ingredient: they are being deleted because the subject fails to meet some arbitrary external standard (Alexa, is that right?) which has not been demonstrated to correlate with Wikipedia-style noteworthiness. So expanding the article will do no good, because it has already been decreed that the subject thereof is unworthy.
As with many other subject areas, the impression is given of a small clique of "web-comic experts" who hover over AfD savagely rending any web-comic-related articles unlucky enough to fall into their path. The resultant mosh is what keeps me, and probably many others, from attempting to join in the procedure.
