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.
