We can backport, sure. And they'll be deleted. Really - have a look at the deletion debates Eric is talking about there. They're appalling. In particular, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Able_and_Baker_%282nd_nomination%29 is galling.
I dont know anything at all about webcomics, but I recognise the notability standards problem from elsewhere; people argue that breweries should produce so much beer a year to be notable and other such arbitrary decisions. But I dont see anything in the article that establishes notability (this may be because it has been fighting deletion of course), but something that shows how it forms part of the history or culture or influenced or was influenced by other things would help; lists of characters and so on are just not interesting. Its not linked from any other articles. No notable cultural item stands in isolation; the links from it are just words - potato, vending machine etc.
(Actually it should be linked from Dayfree Press - just fixing that).
This could all be due to its fought over state, but show me another article that is what it should look like.
