A Personal Appeal From Guilded Age Co-Author, Phil Kahn
We have just discovered that our humble dog & pony show now has its own Wikipedia Article. We are only further humbled by this.
I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts that some of you (our favorite webcomics readers in the whole wide world) are avid wikifans. If so, it would be most awesome if you put your skills to the task of helping us fill out the entry with citations, references, and whatever other little factlets you like to help protect it from the inevitable Notability Crucible it will fall victim to. Those of you who have been hard at work already, you are invaluable to everything that Guilded Age is trying to accomplish, and we cannot thank you enough.
Get crackin’, Guildies. Show them notability barons what for!
Ok.
Notability depends on secondary sources. There has been significant attention on webcomics in the past, due to a strong requirement of physical copy secondary sources.
Please review Penny & Aggie deletion log, and remember that getting deleted is probably worse than not existing in the first place, because it puts a higher onus on notability when an attempt is made to re-create.
Also consider reading through the central list of Webcomic-related Deletion discussions. Remain informed!
Regarding notability: I found that it helped to write the introduction in a way that it answered the question ‘what makes this different from any other comic?’ Checkerboard Nightmare didn’t have much in the way of secondary sources, but writing a strong opening that explained how influential it was amongst other early webcomics seemed to save it from the biannual deletion fight.
LOL at the ‘Personal Appeal” reference!
I hate those notability nazis. They completely miss the spirit
For whoever is writing this article, you may want to take a more formal tone. I doubt the phrase ‘she will pwn you’ is quite appropriate for a wiki.
