Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/El Goonish Shive (2nd nomination)
I will admit that this comic produces zero Google News hits...but then again neither does Megatokyo or Garfield (comic strip) for that matter.  And  does state that Google hits can not be used as exclusive reasoning to prove or disprove noteability.  However a rather quick google search for " "El Goonish Shive" -wikipedia -egscomics.com " yeilded over 10k hits, some of which lend toward noteability. For example: http://collegejolt.com/?p=12083 a review of EGS on College Jolt , http://www.amazon.com/Read-Owl-Will-Goonish-Shive/dp/1932775102/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273487029&sr=1-1 Amazon's listing of EGS volume 1 , http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ElGoonishShive A tvtropes review of EGS , http://www.sequentialtart.com/reports.php?ID=5184&issue=2007-04-01 The Sequential tart review mentioned below , http://www.fanfiction.net/comic/El_Goonish_Shive/ I shudder to think of it, but a fanfic page about EGS , http://elgoonishshive.wikia.com/wiki/Shiveapedia shiveapedia, an EGS Wiki , http://www.masterzdm.com/enter/webcomicbookclub/full.php?cid=76 The link cited at the start of this AfD , and http://www.tangents.us/2010/03/29/el-goonish-shive-7/ a tangents review of EGS.  This was all accomplished in a matter of 10 minutes worth of looking and 30 minutes worth of wikityping, while I do admit that not all of these articles meet the requirements of "reliable, independent sources" I feel that these do show a pattern of influence that is "notability." (One last thing I want to add, I may be scarred forever after finding the rule 34 EGS page that I didn't link here
