::::::Notability is not based on how popular something is, it's based on ''if it is covered in reliable secondary sources''.

::::::Your example is false because local coverage is typically given less weight in notability. Sinfest has coverage in Publishers Weekly, a respected national publication, and several books. [[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] ([[User talk:PARAKANYAA|talk]]) 06:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

:::::::Sure. Let's say they get an article in the same national newspaper and are even listed alongside each other. One goes on to have sustained notability. The other does not.

:::::::Sinfest does not have sustained notability. You've got a single book from 2013, and a few low quality secondary sources. The book from 2020 is unresearched per the author of that book's blog, and is largely just a citation of some uncitable Reddit threads. You do not have notibility.[[Special:Contributions/2601:447:C801:3AD0:4401:E46F:BEE7:403|2601:447:C801:3AD0:4401:E46F:BEE7:403]] ([[User talk:2601:447:C801:3AD0:4401:E46F:BEE7:403|talk]]) 06:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

*'''Note to closer''': There is significant onwiki canvassing going on. [[Special:Contributions/2601:447:C801:3AD0:4401:E46F:BEE7:403]] has violated [[WP:CANVASS]] by notifying the following editors, whom 2601...403 expects to !vote delete: {{noping|Kontakr}}, {{noping|Daveosaurus}}, {{noping|DontKnowWhyIBother}}, {{noping|BurningLibrary}}, {{noping|PrincessPandaWiki}}, {{noping|Jellyfish}}. Please take this into account when closing this AFD. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 05:29, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' I don't care enough about the article to !vote either way. However [[WP:NTEMP|notability is not temporary]], and Sinfest is far from the only [[Cerebus the Aardvark|comic]] that became extremist late in its run.[[User:Daveosaurus|Daveosaurus]] ([[User talk:Daveosaurus|talk]]) 06:07, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
