Panda~man

Non-notable. I have been looking on the net for the past day or so for any information on this character or not, and the closest I can find is a character of a similar name, from an entirely different creator (Pandaman, from the anime One Piece). The Official Panda~man site (the information is found on) doesn't seem to have been touched lately, and only has 300-odd hits on the counter. Lastly, Tripod (the hosting service for the website) indicates that the site may have been abandoned shortly after creation. Unless someone can find any more information on this, I strongly vote for Delete; how this page has survived for so long is beyond me.--Mitsukai 18:45, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

• If it is relevant, I can find the site and it appears live. --Simon Cursitor 06:55, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

• The problem is, the "Official Site" is a subsite on a Tripod account (see link one above). The main portion of this account is listed with the standard Tripod blurb for abandoned accounts (see link two above). Granted, there's no dates or time indicators on the pages, but an active site would have a lot more information and updated data. Furthermore, if this comic is critical to the creator's business/fame/welfare/etc., I would think that it would rate a lot higher than a subsection on a free ISP; not to knock Tripod or the kind, but in a day and age when most substandard webcomics have their own domains and URLs, something that reputedly saw publication at one time should not only have a mention somewhere else on the web as well, but should have its own domain and URL, IMHO.--Mitsukai 12:36, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
