Protests Grow Over Wikipedia Deletions

Do you know anything about webcomics?  If not, don’t expect to learn a lot through Wikipedia - many articles on the subject have been deleted, causing an uproar that may affect the site’s fundraising efforts.
Protests Grow Over Wikipedia Deletions
“[O]ver 50 articles on webcomics were deemed not to meet their notability guidelines and were deleted during January and February of 2007,” according to a Howard Tayler, the creator of Schlock Mercenary, first addressed the subject, his five paragraphs received 133 responses.

That was six days ago.  Now the topic has reappeared on Slashdot, and hundreds more comments have been made.  Those who are against the articles’ deletion are frequently calling for people to ignore Wikimedia’s fundraising attempts.
