User talk:Eruhildo/9th Elsewhere

Could you lend me a hand with a new article?

I'm working on an article for the webcomic 9th Elsewhere, but I'm a little stumped. The article I wrote was speedied for WP:CSD#A7 and WP:WEB as it had been AfD'd for the same reason. I tried to fix the problem, but I'm not sure it will be enough to keep the article. I was wondering if you could take a look over what I've got and give me some pointers? My working copy is here if you're interested. I'll be out of town for the next week, so I'm in no rush for an answer. Thank you. --Eruhildo (talk) 06:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm...the big thing I think would be to find some other assertions of notability and other reliable sources. I think the awards may be enough, but more RS wouldn't hurt. While the comic itself is fine for the character and plot info, and some of the basic history of the series, other RS's discussing it help further establish notability. With web comics, the additional challenge is that they aren't like print ones that may be syndicated in thousands of paper, so finding neutral sources will be harder. You may want to cut back on the character section some as it dominates the article. Try to focus on the more real world notability first, including reception (reviews, awards, etc), history, impact, etc. It looks like they are doing a book compilation, so that should also be mentioned if you can get more info on it. The Comic series MOS might have some useful tips for organization and formatting]]. Maybe see if there are any GA or B web comic articles to study as well?

For some other suggestions. I'd probably not have quite so many links to the site (have one in the info box, so need need for one in the intro or ELs). Also, if a reference is used more than once, don't forget to use a named ref so you don't have it repeating in the reference list. :)

Here is one review link I found that might help some for the receiption section: [1].

Hope that helps some, Collectonian (talk) 07:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't expect that much help. Thanks a ton! That really helped me know what to look for. Again, thanks! --Eruhildo (talk) 03:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
