PRODed

As it stands it (and the others for previous decades) doesn't seem worth keeping but it is part of broader set of "decade in X" entries like: 2000s in film and List of years in television#2000s (even these vary - see 1980s in film for what all these entries should probably eventually aim for). However, as you can see this is nothing like those entries. Concerns have been here and rather than just deleting what could be a potentially useful section of the comics section and another part of the "decade in" entries - I'd like to find a way to fix things so it works. Here are my ideas but I'd like to hear what other people think:

Increase participation. Until recently these entries didn't even have Comic Project headers and I've been through and added them in. In some ways this should be the core (or one of a number of spines) running through such a project. Hopefully more editors can be encouraged in which should give this breadth and depth.
As it stands there isn't enough editor activity to justify this entry. If this doesn't pick up then I'd support moving to something like is done with TV (redirect all of these entries to List of years in comics and then work on expanding that. It would mean there is a better focus for activity. It may be as this whole area takes off that entries like this might become necessary again and the redirect can be removed and a fuller article inserted. Obviously if activity increases then this might not be necessary but as it stands that doesn't seem too likely.

So that is take - increase activity for the whole set of entries but for the timebeing turn these "decades in comics" into redirects with an eventual target of making them something like 1980s in film, but you can't really have something like that until the "years in comics" are more fleshed out so that is a very long term aim.
