Is there a minimum standard on which works can have articles?

I can imagine someone writing a single paragraph or drawing a single image, posting it on the internet, and then trying to create an article here to promote it. I know we're discouraged from "promoting" our own work but is there also a minimum size limit or other minimums a work must meet before it's worth an article?

There's a webcomic I'd like to write an article about. I'm not the creator but at this time, it only has 106 pages. Is that large enough? Are there other limits to consider?

There Is No Such Thing As Notability. Read it, then make the page for the webcomic.smile

We have three requirements for works troped here:

  1. It exists.
  2. Someone cares enough to make a page for it.
  3. It does not violate our Content Policy. Short version: No porn or pedo-pandering.

The page itself needs a minimum of three examples, with context, or it will be cut as a stub, but other than that there is no minimum. Traditionally things like short stories and one-shot comics get put on the author page or grouped somewhere else like that, but that's because it's not worth the effort of making a separate page, not because it's not allowed. A 106 page webcomic will be fine, especially if it's still growing.

What's the webcomic in question?

Thank you. I thought so but I'm fairly new and still figuring things out. I'll go to the sandbox first so I don't have to worry about mistakes. The webcomic is Wastelander's Anonymous and it is still growing.

Great. And using the Sandbox is an excellent choice. You may also want to make a YKTTW or open a thread in the Webcomics section of the forum for it, to find any other folks who follow it who may be willing to help with the page.
