Non-notable comic. As the article itself states, 'It was a comic strip that was exhibited but never published.' As such, there's not surprisingly virtually no sources about it, still less reliable ones. The talk page lists a few mentions in the media, but it doesn't seem as this comic received anywhere near the level of significant coverage required to pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. While it looks like the comic did exist, existing is not notability and there are not any reliable sources out there to show that it's notable. The sources on the comic are obviously not reliable, as they're pretty much original research. (For the original editor, you need to have better sources than "I saw and spoke with the guy who made it, therefore it's all proven and notable". While you can use yourself as a source if you're considered to be an established expert on the subject, and even then we need a little more than just your say so, such as an article written by you and published by a third party, for example. See WP:SPS for what I'm talking about.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
