Just a few days ago someone posted on the talk page of a webcomic's article that they were interested in doing some cleanup work on it, including splitting a section on some characters out of the main article, but they were concerned that it would draw the attention of AfD and get both the character article and the main article deleted. I was initially quite annoyed that it has come to this, with editors becoming hesitant to _make improvements_ for fear of being noticed, but after checking out the current kerfuffle over webcomics I grudgingly agreed that the split attempt should be put off for now in favor of a more careful incremental approach. Some excessive details started getting trimmed, some references started getting added. Today I find the article posted on AfD anyway. It's a five-year-old Keenspot comic that's had two books published and currently ranks #11 out of the 1796 webcomics rated by topwebcomics.com. By the Alexa rankings it's got about half the readership of Sluggy Freelance. It was described by the nominator as "yet another non-notable web comic, whose notability, influence, and appeal seems very limited." If the article had been just about the printed paper books would this have ever even been an issue?
