I'm not sure if the (unsourced) assertion that these people were the first to found a webcomic collective is an assertion to notability, so I'll bring it here instead of speedy deleting it. Their activities fall short of thenotability standard of WP:WEB, WP:ORG or WP:CORP, and there are no reliable sources to support any assertion of notability. Their webcomics themselves are not notable, or at any rate not notable enough to confer notability on this collective. Sandstein 06:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Two of the comics apparently included in the original ABS (according to the article) are notable enough to have their own articles on Wikipedia, and 1-2 others of those may be; among that list are both Keenspot and Blank Label Comics authors. If the article's unverified content is correct, i.e., it was the first webcomic collective and did include who it says it included, then it is fairly clear that it will meet notability standards. Can the content be verified? Balancer 15:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no third-party reputable sources, let alone any suggesting importance. The unsourced "first webcomic collective" claim appears to be false advertising -- the comics in the group started around 2000, well after the webcomic collectives from the mid-90s.[1] -- Dragonfiend 05:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, then. Balancer 12:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
