WPWEB  I dont know what you mean by jumping to conclusions but noted nonetheless To address your example directly Dominic Deegan was actually printed published and released which gives it a  bit of a foothold in the webcomic world It has tens of thousands of Google hits the first several hundred of which are unique and relevant and several hundred unique sites also link to it It also gets a couple million views per month according to Alexacom The three methods on their own are not always the best for rating the notability of a subject but when combined they give a clearer picture  Some articles are marked for deletion soon after creation and others arent marked until several months or years after their first edit However in the end they will eventually receive the same scrutiny all other articles must undergo an unencyclopedic article will not be allowed to exist on the premise that other unencyclopedic articles already exist they will in all likelihood be deleted eventually as well  As for WPWEB itself Its a guideline used to help determine the notability of the site While the majority of sites that do not meet the criteria are deleted all of those that do meet the criteria are kept This criteria is an extension of the following policies   WikipediaVerifiability  WikipediaNeutral point of view  WikipediaNo original research  The following guidelines   WikipediaCite sources  WikipediaReliable sources  And the following tests   WikipediaSearch engine test  Basically if the site has independent material published about it receives an award or is distributed through a notable publisher information about it can be verified and most importantly neutral This avoids original research This also allows us to cite reliable sources Wikipedia is not a primary source or publisher of original researchinformation WPWEB is basically the condensed version of several other policies and guidelines aimed specficially towards websites
