Deletion debate voided and article reinstated
[edit]This article was recently nominated at WP:AfD with a delete result. The nominator has admitted on an external forum that this was a bad-faith nomination and that he used at least 10 newly created sockpuppets in the deletion debate to make a WP:POINT that the deletion process for webcomics was not operating properly. The deletion nomination and discussion having been a gross violation of good faith and the deletion process, they are void ab initio and to be totally disregarded; the article is re-created and the deletion nomination is stricken, without prejudice to any proper nomination and discussion that might take place in the future.

- Not leaving out any "notable" information there, are we? :P Alexandra Erin 02:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- The article in which the nominator (who also appears to be the creator of the webcomic) admits what he did is linked to right above here, if that's what you mean. Newyorkbrad 02:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Move for original poster here to smile a bit. Wikipedia needs to test itself, or its flaws will never be made evident and can therefore not be resolved. And that AfD is REALLY funny when you know what you are reading. Erk|Talk -- I like traffic lights -- 08:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Split from Kristofer Straub article
[edit]I went ahead and performed the split as discussed at the Kristofer Straub talk page, and cleaned the article up a little. FusionKnight (talk) 17:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Redirect to Blank Label Comics?
[edit]Dragonfiend, I'm not sure I understand your edit of adding a redirect to Blank Label Comics. It looks like the afd for this page centered around its notability. Since the awards section now exists, I propose (as did others at the Kristofer Straub page), that this subject now passes notability criteria and is deserving of its own page. Considering the plethora of nominations Starslip has received from the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards, (the main achievement recognition body for the field of webcomics), it would seem delinquent if we were to skip over this strip.
As evidence of the notability of the WCCA, consider that webcomics like Sluggy Freelance, Schlock Mercenary, Megatokyo, and Penny Arcade have all been nominees or winners in various categories.
Also, I'd point out that most of the other strips involved with Blank Label do have their own pages. It seems strange that Starslip would be left out. Let's discuss. :) FusionKnight (talk) 15:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
I'd also like to point out that Starslip Crisis has won more WCCA nominations than any other Blank Label comic. If the other Blank Label strips deserve their own pages, then Starslip definitely does. FusionKnight (talk) 17:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
And... for the triple-post... I'd just like to point out one more item I believe is in favor of giving Starslip its own page: Wikipedia:Notability (web). Starslip meets criteria #2, and according to the guideline, a subject must meet only one of the criteria to be deemed "notable". I'll await your response, but if I don't hear anything for awhile, I'll revert the change based mainly on the WP:WEB guideline. FusionKnight (talk) 22:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- As per my edit summary, I restored the redirect as per the consensus of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Starslip Crisis (2nd nomination). Consensus has also been that those webcartoon awards are not the type of major independent and well known awards that instantly confer notability on to everything that has ever been nominated or ever won. Given that, as well as the lack of any cited reputable independent sources, I'd say our best bet with this topic is to write about it at Blank Label Comics or maybe elsewhere where there is a much better chance of having enough reputable sources to create a neutral, verifiable article. --Dragonfiend (talk) 02:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dragonfiend, your finger is right on the pulse of webcomics! StarslipCrisis LEFT Blank Label Comics several months ago. This redirect decision is based on months-old obsolete info. Even if redirecting is the right choice, you clearly have no idea where. I wonder how many other webcomics articles you're this sloppy with. 63.65.43.172 (talk) 00:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- If you check the WCCA AfD discussion, the result was KEEP. If this is the case, then the WCCA would seem to be a valid source for WP:WEB criteria #2. Also, the Starslip AfD discussion was closed a year ago. I think enough time has passed to reassess the current state. Thoughts? FusionKnight (talk) 14:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Considering that you seem to be quite well-versed in Wikipedia's rules and regulations, Dragonfiend, I find it surprising that you could manage to accidentally base an edit like that on a year-old AfD decision. 65.33.206.108 (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Fuseli panel.gif
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Fuseli panel.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
