Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cigarro & Cerveja (2nd nomination)
Okay, sorry to get so long-winded here and monopolize this page, but one more thing I wanted to add.  Looking over the previous AfD, I see that it was closed with a "Keep" vote because the fact that the strip once appeared in a college newspaper was taken to satisfy , criterion #3.  I get that that's why you wanted to try to claim that it was a print newspaper that also appeared on the web rather than the other way around -- to avoid that argument being used again -- but I still think that claim is erroneous.  However, I think the original argument that publication in a college newspaper qualifies as a "respected and independent" source doesn't hold water anyway.  Typical college newspapers accept pretty much any comics that are submitted to them--and I speak from experience here.  Heck, if having once appeared in a college newspaper is enough to satisfy , I have my own webcomic I could write a Wikipedia article about!  (Well, no I couldn't, because of course it would violate , but the point is that getting a strip into a college newspaper is way too easy to make it qualify as reasonable grounds for satisfying .   specifies that the web content has to be distributed through a "respected and independent" source; nowhere does it say that just any print source automatically qualifies as "respected and independent".)  Okay, I know I may seem to be arguing against the decision made in the first AfD here, and I'm not sure that's really helping your case, but I figured it was germane to the matter at hand
