That why I recommended that someone to define the notability standard for webcomics. A webcomic that meet notability shouldn't just relies on Alexa ranking and google all the time but use it to determine if it seem notable. If they do not meet the Alexa ranking. Than it time to consult notable webcomics resources such as the blogger Websnark, magazine like Webcomic Examiners, and Comixpedia.com http://Comixpedia.com. If they are mentioned at any one of those site, than it must be vaguely notable. One should not however consult comixpedia.org http://comixpedia.org because it allow everyone'a webcomics thus making it useless to determine notability. Lastly, consult a trusted wikipedian you knew is a webcomic expert to see if they consider it notable.
Alexa ranking tend to be extremely inaccurate for determine how popular it is and google don't tell you the whole story. It is important to do more research than that in the case of webcomics to see if they are indeed notable.

Well put! Having determined that most webcomics are non-notable, it is safe to assume that one need not look at the particular contribution to verify that it is non-notable. A rule-abiding decision to delete should be disturbed by the introduction of real facts.
