Oh look. Our webcomics deletionism has driven off contributors and hurt the project.
I'm surprised. Are you surprised? I'm surprised.
I saw this back when it first came up and considered writing a posting here about it, but I decided against it because I figured I'd sound like a broken record. But I guess that fact itself is kind of significant.
Frankly, I support this boycott. We, as a community, decided to reduce our support for webcomics articles as much as possible, so it's entirely reasonable that they, as a community, would decide to reduce their support for Wikipedia as much as possible. Some editors like to point out how prominent Wikipedia has become as a reason why it's important to remove "non-notable" material. Well, here's the flipside of that; a lot of people notice now when we snub a subject area that they themselves consider notable.
