Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Jaded
See the webcomic here and their one man band forum here. Webcomics reach their end user purely through the means of the internet, so Alexa ranking is a good way of finding out how popular one is. When you have a ranking of over 2 million, this is clearly not good. This is a none notable webcomic with a tiny readership, and with 2 million more popular sites out there, it's time to remove this from wikipedia. - Hahnchen 00:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Question. The rank only hints at the lowness of the readership. How big is the readership, actually? Moreover, does size of participation or readership necessarily determine notability? — Rickyrab | Talk 00:21, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- On the other hand, maybe delete, on notability grounds. — Rickyrab | Talk 00:32, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Reply - That could be a point. But try looking on Google for the jaded and webcomic. It has not received any outside press, it hasn't even won any community awards I think, which almost every webcomic wins some. It's true, there are notable films, books etc, which may have been notable but not well read/seen. I do not think however, that this case holds true for this webcomic. - Hahnchen 00:33, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Alexa is in general a horrible way of determining popularity or notability, since it is not based on visitors, but on visitors who chose to install a specific piece of spyware. Also note that "The Jaded" is mostly read through Graphic Smash, so Alexa would treat such visits as results for graphicsmash.com, not for thejaded.co.uk, further biasing the Alexa results. Even aside from all that, this article is verifiable, encyclopedic, and useful. There are absolutely no disadvantages to keeping it in Wikipedia, so it should not be deleted.
