Fuzzlewump[edit]

No establishment of notability in any vein, aside from two people on the talk page who say they know of it (one because they knew the person who came up with it in school one day). Vianello (talk) 01:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete OK, so it might exist. Still fails WP:N and WP:FICT. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 01:10, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:COI and WP:N This search shows no references from reliable sites. Artene50 (talk) 01:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the arguments above. There's also a page entitled It's A Fuzzlewump Life about the comic book that I made into a redirect to Fuzzlewump. When this article is deleted, the closing admin should delete the redirect as well. Reyk _YO! 01:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I deleted the circular redirects within the article. Jclemens (talk) 02:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless sourced. Has anyone ever seen this comic series? I find no ghits for it. Jclemens (talk) 02:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Jclemens, did you see the circulation figure - self-admission of non-notability. Sgroupace (talk) 03:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, I'd missed that. Surprising that it sells that many issues and doesn't even have a Geocities (or equivalent) web page... I remain unconvinced that it really exists. Jclemens (talk) 04:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails notability requirements by a long way. Nuttah (talk) 06:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete OR Merge (note: I am the editor that did the last CSD). There are a few issues:

the original editor who created the article has the username "Fuzzlewump" (arv submitted)
40-50 copies of a publication is very low notability.
The "product" almost appears to be more of a viral marketing concept, rather than a "real" product.
There are no verifiable external references.

By itself, this article shows no true notability. Perhaps if combined with the Fuzzlewump life's entry, this article could be of sufficient length, clarity, with appropriate references (which could be the challenge) to remain. I'm not convinced of its encylopedic nature, but if done right pehaps it has a right. If not ... um, bye bye! BMW(drive) 12:54, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question. I feel sorta dumb asking this, but, what Fuzzlewump Life entry? - Vianello (talk) 19:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Response- there was another article, a sub-stub entitled It's A Fuzzlewump Life about the comic book. Reyk _YO! 20:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 40-50 issues a month? You gotta be kidding me ... Daniel Case (talk) 14:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I went through the usual databases and couldn't find a thing (other than references to Fuzzlewump as a username in Google). Then, just to be sure, I ran it through the slightly less usual databases, and nothing turned up there, ether. So I ran it through Ebesco, and that too turned up naught. At this stage I'd be really surprised if a reference turned up that could be used. Disappointing, as I rather like the idea of a Fuzzlewump, but so be it. :) - Bilby (talk) 00:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vain vanity in vain. JuJube (talk) 01:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Obviously non-notable. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:39, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
