Pebble Version

ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Furthermore, the presence of many new users in discussions like this one has made some editors in the past more inclined to suggest deletion. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

This Pokemon fan fiction webcomic can be seen here and you can see their user forums here. It achieves an Alexa rank of over 5 million. A Google search for "Pebble Version" brings up 125 hits, many of which don't refer to the comic at all. (It also seems to be some sort of Java blogging tool amongst other things) - Hahnch e n 00:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nn webcomic, over 5 million alexa ranking.--Jersey Devil 02:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Alexa rankings can be iffy, but for a site that's been online for two and a half years, that's clearly nn. T e K E 04:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Alexia rankings have proved to be highly unreliable and my attempts at the aforementioned google search have turned up more hits than previously reported. In addition, being a fan of Pebble Version, I know of many sites that mention it which do not show up in the google search. Finally, it tends to rank in the top 30-40 on Top Web Comics, so it clearly has a decent following. --NBolt (talk) 22:120, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Delete The Torchic article has a paragraph on it since Torchic is the main character. Pebble Version doesn't need one. H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 10:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The author is actually asking users to keep it. Which explains all the IPs... H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 15:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- Actually, he's merely pointing out that the article is up for delation and mentioning that people can comment if they would like. If he was really asking people to do it there'd probably be a lot more respones. Also, he does make of point of telling people to make intelligent comments and not spam if they do come here. --NBolt (talk) 23:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep firstly torchic is not the main charicter, it is brenden secondly if what TKET is true then we can delete some younger stuff —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.64.23.74 (talk • contribs) .

- Comment - His comment is actually, in spite of its 2 year run, it still hasn't managed to generate big numbers. We do delete a lot of younger stuff, but webcomics pop up on Wikipedia all the time, it's hard to keep track. - Hahnch e n 13:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep You guys are picky... can we just let ONE entry stay on Wikipedia for once?!? Pebble Version is a poplular, and good comic. It is linked to on Bob and George. I would hate to see it's entry deleted. Please, have mercy. --Ryan 16:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.69.137.204 (talk • contribs) .
Keep: It rocks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.98.138.235 (talk • contribs) .
Keep: It is a very good comic and deserves a page if it has been running for two years.--Linkmasta 22:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - What does this even mean? I have a very good friend, he's been alive for 20 years? Keep? This really isn't about how good something is. - Hahnch e n 02:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, article does not assert notability of topic, does not meet WP:WEB. -- Dragonfiend 17:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
