Stubby, non-notable, does not meet [[Wikipedia:Web_comics|web comic guidelines]]. [[Wikipedia:WikiSpam|WikiSpam]]. [[User:Gwalla|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash; [[User:Gwalla|Gwalla]] | [[User talk:Gwalla|Talk]] 21:08, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* Keep. Traffic is low, true, but it seems to be [http://www.comixpedia.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1207&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 critically acclaimed], and some of the [http://www.boasas.com/about_boasas.html print appearances] seem notable.

** comment: The print appearances do make a case for it. I'm not sure a review by Comixpedia should count for much; they'll review just about any webcomic. [[User:Gwalla|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash; [[User:Gwalla|Gwalla]] | [[User talk:Gwalla|Talk]] 23:25, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*** True, but my point was that it was a positive review. Anytime I hear anyone talk about this comic, especially other web comic authors, they're praising it. That's the main reason I think we should keep the article. I've revised it a bit, hopefully it's more encyclopedic now.

*Weak delete: If we keep, it should go to cleanup. The article is, right now, a tease for the website. Needs to be NPOV and have more than this. It's on the basis of advertising that I want to delete it, but it's weak advertising and a weak delete vote. [[User:Geogre|Geogre]] 00:30, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* '''Keep.''' I'm familiar with this comic through a few distinct sources despite having no interest whatever in it, I think that qualifies it. Could use some cleaning up, though. -- [[User:Ian Maxwell|Ian Maxwell]], 2004 Aug 13, 05:25 ([[UTC]])

* The current article reads like promotion, and would need work (I never trust any article that states 'look at the website'). However, the print appearances would suggest that it is of higher quality than the average web comic, and if it does, or did, appear regularly then it would qualify as a '''keep'''.[[User:Average Earthman|Average Earthman]] 10:33, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* In light of [[User:Triskaideka|Triskaideka]]'s defense, I'm changing my vote to '''keep'''. Regular publication makes it notable, and trumps traffic-based guidelines. [[User:Gwalla|<nowiki></nowiki>]] &mdash; [[User:Gwalla|Gwalla]] | [[User talk:Gwalla|Talk]] 19:21, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*Weak keep based on the print version. The Comixpedia review doesn't make it notable, though - Comixpedia will let almost anyone review almost anything. -[[User:Gtrmp|Sean Curtin]] 04:09, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
