Deletion of Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki (2nd nomination)

Comment: but you asked for for discussions in reliable sources... and  requires that sources be considered in context with what is being sourced. You will not find an article on Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki in The Washington Post, nor will you find articles on Barrack Obama at the various webcomic sources offered. Some of the sources found are from those from experts in the genre whose opinions are respected, who are qualified to speak knowledgeably about the subject. Going through the search results, I found a review at http://www.peskybrain.com/csbrains/?p=112 Pesky Brain.com for example, that deals directly with the subject and qualifies "in context with what is being sourced"... just as might the review at http://www.sequentialtart.com/reports.php?ID=3021&issue=2004-03-01 Sequential Tart.  And not using wiki-mirrors, there are additionl sources that might work for expansion at http://www.thewebcomiclist.com/p/343/sparkling-generation-valkyrie-yuuki thewebcomiclist.com, http://www.comicalert.com/comics/7693-sparkling-generation-valkyrie-yuuki/ comicalert.com, and http://crossovers.dragoneers.com/Valkyrie.html crossovers.dragoneer.com. I was just trying to meet your concerns

Comment: There seems to be a lot of confusion where editors are throwing out some red herring about whether the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards is a notable award. For purposes of this discussion we don't care whether it is a notable award. Notability is not inherited. We care, as  sates, whether it is a "well known and independent" award. If a topic wins a well-known award, then many reputable sources will write about this. On the other hand, someone can win something like a No-Prize or Lord Florey Student Prize, but while such a Prize itself may meet Wikipedia:Notability, that does not mean every winner of such a prize will inherit this notability and can be covered in an encyclopedia. The same is true of these little known webcomics awards. In other words, find some reputable sources for this specific topic as per our content policies. Don't just have some sources for a related topic and hope they some how rub off on this one

Comment: In addition to the upcoming academic paper (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/shared/shared_vikvin/Vin3_abstracts.doc abstract), Kittyhawk was http://comixtalk.com/index.php?q=al_schroeder_talks_to_the_sparking_generation_an_interview_with_kittyhawk interviewed by ComixTalk an on-line magazine concerning webcomics that (per ) would seem to be both "respected and independent of the creators". The interview appeared in the interview section and '''not the blogs'''. So, it was '''not''' posted "without editorial oversight". If this indeed qualifies as a secondary source

Comment: article does not meet our content policies nor our notability guidelines. Long-standing consensus which we are not going to override here is that, for example,  per  "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." and per  that a site may be notable if it has won a "well-known and independent" award. The Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards are not well-known by any sense. I've done an exhaustive search at my library -- the type of search that has improved and saved many a webcomic article from AfD -- and found nothing. Zero. Not a single reputable source in any of my library's databases even mentions this comic, let alone discusses it in any way that would help us write a useful encyclopedia article
