Delete: I was also unable to find any sources that provided substantial coverage, so I agree that it is not shown to be notable. HenryCrun15 (talk) 03:22, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The existing references consist only of two passing mentions of the strip when it came out almost a decade ago. They have more to do with the author and do not show notability of the comic. Similarly, I can find no significant coverage of the strip, only brief mentions in coverage of the author. Unless someone can find in depth coverage this strip is not notable.

Comment: I added one reference and an external link which is the official site to the article. Does this help the article? Zoe1013 (talk) 09:33, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- No. A podcast by some guy does not establish notability, and neither do a few lines on social media. It's just more of the same, a decade-old passing mention of a new comic strip coming out. Has anyone published reliable sources about the strip which we can use to show the comic's actual notability? Simply being published is not notable. Meters (talk) 18:23, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The external link for the strip is fine, but it does nothing to establish notability either. It's simply a useful link to have in the article. Meters (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- A subject needs at least one source (preferably multiple sources) that is independent of the subject, from a reliable source, and is substantial coverage. Detailed coverage in this vein can demonstrate that the subject is notable. Of the sources in the article now, the Washington Post Live Chat and links to the comic's official websites are not independent, the CBR article and the Daily Cartoonist article are not substantial, and the Philip Taylor / Part-Time Money interview is not reliable. Therefore there is not yet a demonstration that the subject is notable. HenryCrun15 (talk) 01:12, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I added another source. I hope it’s enough to keep the article here. Zoe1013 (talk) 23:44, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- You really don't seem to be getting the point. Your new source https://www.dhs.gov/blog/2011/02/28/homeland-humor-dhs-attorney-lands-her-own-syndicated-comic-strip is just another 2011 passing mention of the strip from when it came out The ref has more to say about the author than the strip. It's not about the number of refs you can add (you now have four 2011 refs that all say the same thing; there's a new strip by Lewis). It's about whether those refs actually show the notability of the comic. Meters (talk) 00:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It’s published on GoComics everyday. Zoe1013 (talk) 03:11, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- No-one is saying it isn't published. What i said was Simply being published is not notable. Meters (talk) 05:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don’t understand it. How come Diamond Lil is considered notable on Wikipedia? But Reply All can’t be? Can’t Reply All be a redirect to GoComics? Zoe1013 (talk) 06:58, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
