Actually, Snowspinner provided an example of
'1' to start the thread
(well, one of the threads): /Elf-Only Inn/. As a webcomics fan myself
(although I don't like or read /Elf-Only Inn/ itself), I can certainly
see his point[0].

[0] And I'm hanging out for the time when Tycho
and Gabe get their own
entries on en-WP. That would obviously be cruft, but I'd like to
hear those who want minor characters from movies to have pages to
explain *why* major characters from /Penny Arcade/ don't belong.
It's about how much can be written on the subject of the article.
Seriously, how much needs to be written about a minor (or even major)
character in a movie, if they are known for nothing outside of that
movie, and the portrayal of the character in the movie was unremarkable?
Similarly, how much can be written about a character from a webcomic, if
they are known only for appearing in said webcomic[1]?
[1] The obvious exception here is where said character becomes notable
/outside/ of the webcomic, and enters[2] the ethereal realm of "popular
culture", whatever that is.
[2] Which is pretty much what I think "notable" means - "is notable
outside of dedicated fandom", ie. "has entered popular culture"[3].
[3] Whatever that means.[4]
[4] Too many footnotes may be hazardous to your health.
