Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bagofchips

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bagofchips was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE (having discounted suspected sockpuppet votes from User:scrubbo and User:SuperHappy).

Just a note: I can verify that User:scrubbo and User:SuperHappy are drive-by voters, not sockpuppets --Carnildo 21:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Webcomic collective. Some mildly notable comics in there, sure, but nothing on what the collective has done. Collective was founded in 2004. I submit that this collective is not notable. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 02:45, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. However, like for like: If this is deleted, then Dumbrella as well. - Andre Engels 03:04, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • I have added it in with the header and made a note at Dumbrella. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 03:27, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • Why not separate votes for the two? They're separate articles about separate collectives. Tim J Tylor 09:32, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
        • comment: Doing so. These should not have been combined in a single vote: the subjects are different in kind (Bagofchips is a mutual-promotion collective like The Nice, Dumbrella is a web publisher like Keenspot). Gwalla | Talk 06:26, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete - They've got some notable webcomic artists in the groups, but the groups themselves don't seem to be notable. --Carnildo 05:17, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing suggests these groups are notable. jni 06:43, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Bagofchips is only a stub. Give it the chance to expand and show notability. And let's add the stub banner to Dumbrella too. P Ingerson 07:59, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Week keep for Bagofchips. It's early yet, but they've been active (they had their own booth at Comic-Con, for instance). Dumbrella however is definitely notable and is a strong keep. Gwalla | Talk 18:43, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • keep both. Yuckfoo 01:49, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep Both groups are more than just a fancy link list. Online, it may not seem that way, but try spending some time away from the internet for a while and you'll see that they use their power of unity to promote and sell at conventions and other such events. --SuperHappy 02:28, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I see nothing notable here. Indrian 07:37, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep If you've been to a Con you'd know that these small groups of like minded and good cartoonists are one of the best ways to move merchandise and draw attention. It's worth noting that Dumbrella had more booth space than keenspot or modern tales or many of the other comic concerns and had a massive draw. Both definitions need expansion, but Dumbrella for sure is a template on which small, efficient webcomic collectives will base themselves and Bag Of Chips demonstrates the effectiveness of that as several of them are Keenspot artists who see the small collective as a better form of promotion and support than the massive Keenspot. scrubbo 08:45, 18 Dec 2004(CST)
