I have updated the site. Would you consider it neutral now? Imajimation 18:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

My problem with this page is that it doesn't show how the comic book is notable. Has it won any literary awards? Been reviewed by significant book or comic reviewers? Made any genre-specific bestseller lists? There's nothing in the article to show that this isn't just another comic book which is self-published for the author and his friends... if it's notable, there's nothing in the article to show it. -FisherQueen 18:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see...it has been an independent book for a while, about two years, and recently we've taken a turn toward bigger distribution. It has recently been picked up by Simon & Schuster, and will soon be distributed en masse around the country. If it isn't notable right now, I'm sure that it will be once people start seeing it on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble in February. It has been acclaimed by Stan Lee, but that's because we gave it to him and he came back to us saying good things about it. Not sure how to cite that, but trust me, I would put that on the site if I knew how to reference it. The comics are also being distributed in Germany, as well, while our line of toys is in Japan. Any suggestions? Imajimation 20:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There must be reliable published sources independent of the creator or publisher, such as books, magazines, and academic journals. Without these, it cannot be included on Wikipedia. Simply being included in the vast stocks of Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble is not enough. The article needs to be accurate beyond a doubt, and there is also typically a problem with that when there is a conflict of interest in someone affiliated with the subject writing the article. —Centrx→talk • 20:52, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The conflict of interest is understandable. I will do my best to make sure the info is dead accurate. The books have been featured in places like [[Scratch (magazine}]], AllHipHop.com, as well as spots on CNN and Fox News. If you just search Google, there are plenty of reviews and features. My question is, do I have to stack all these references onto the article in order to give this page Notability? Maybe, the more I put in, the better? Also, if I have information that comes straight from the creators, how would I reference that? Imajimation 21:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
