Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drowtales (2nd nomination)
When I was first a wikipedian, a decade or so ago, community standards regarding webcomics and other internet things were that notability was a bit more subjective, and factors tended to include alexis rankings, community size, and google prominence.  Fan pages and forums posts were counted towards notability criteria.  These days, the community has shifted its standards towards the strict letter of the .  Drowtales would clearly and obviously qualify as notable under the old community standards, but looks like it is on far more shaky grounds given contemporary community standards.  I wonder whether the standards shift really makes for a better encyclopedia in all situations... would returning to a looser standard for popular internet things be helpful?  I mean, notability is all about whether a wide/broad audience would be interested in learning more details about the subject.  That said, strictly applying  as we do now does make for better sourcing and referencing, so I see why we do it
— NONE, NONE
