Created a bunch of webcomics that don't have their own articles. Won an award which many other AFDs have deemed insufficient. Sources are primary, unreliable, or tangential. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:34, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The first citation is from the Intelligencer Journal, which appears a reliable source, but the citation in this article is broken. I would be keen to see if this article can be found. Between this and the CBR coverage, it is possible that this subject has multiple independent substantial pieces of coverage. However, I can't find the Intelligencer Journal article.

  • Sadly can't find the Lancaster Online article through the Wayback Machine and Webcite isn't currently working for me. It likely wasn't archived anywhere. I think that per
    WP:SOURCEACCESS, it still "counts"(?), but that's a weird situation of course. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 17:59, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

  • Weak delete. Setting aside Web Cartoonists awards status, which I still think are not terrible (but I acknowledge a number of others have dismissed), he didn't win them, his works did. It's a small difference, but

  • Weak Delete per nom and Piotrus. Ref 1 can't be opened, ref 2 says is a press release and is barely SIGCOV, plus CBR is marginally reliable to me, either way, it's difficult for that to meet GNG. Ref 3 is a blog, so isn't an RS. The final ref is a is an award, with a borderline notable article (that survived 4 AfDs) citing (mostly trivial, but just with barely notable) mentions, I'm not sure if it's notable for Poe's webcomic, but note this AfD is on Poe, not the webcomic. As notability isn't inherited, and the award doesn't count towards significant coverage for the webcomic creator. Ref 2 and 4 probably has some good info (but aren't significant), but there isn't any related topics to merge to, so I support deletion. VickKiang (talk) 01:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
