This is my first article I will be writing, so I did not have time to write everything. I did the research that WIKKI told me to do, compiled tons of sources just to write the first header. I still don't know how to do all the formatting so IT IS TAKING ME FOREVER! This company has been a substantial amount of secondary sources reporting on its progress and news. In addition, the company is international in scope and application and is doing business in Singapore, Japan, Beijing, England and France. The company was just featured on the front page of the business times in Singapore last week and the president is doing a comics to film seminar this week. I have been following this new publisher since I met them at Comic Con 2007 and wish I was not the one writing the article, but they should be represented. This article is going to be very substantial when I am done. Best, Taylor
I have built what I think is a pretty informative page. I know that most companies probably get trouble for being represented on Wiki, but if it is a company that is making a movement in the its sector, people should be able to learn and research.
As far as notability, I think that I have clarified the importance of this entities inclusion: international application, substantial secondary sources, minimal-to-none forwarding looking statements, and no hypotheses that are un-founded. If anyone has an recommendation on how I can strengthen this article, PLEASE advise. The friggen threats of all my hard work being speedily deleted are soooo frustrating.

I think that there are too many non-free images in the Titles section. That section is essentially a list, and I don't think that one or two images are necessary for every title. The relevant policy is here. Bláthnaid 20:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I have trimmed the article back, since it mostly relies on press releases. Given the history of the article it seems clear that there is an attempt to make the article the subject of a disagreement which is not the purpose of a Wikipedia article. I have semi-protected the article on that basis. I would also suggest someone has a serious misunderstanding of the no legal threats policy judging by this summary. Adding to this, Wikipedia is not a directory, so we don;t list anything and everything. We most certainly are not a business directory, there is no expectation that this company should have an article, and our guidance on what we include does lean against using promotional material as a basis for articles, see notability guidance: Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, paid material, autobiography, and product placement are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. The published works should be someone else writing independently about the topic. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it – without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter. Hope that helps. Hiding T 09:45, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Apparently all the recently created articles on Radical Comics titles have been deleted. As I was surprised at the lack of warning (and because I was planning to do some more work on them) I tracked down the reason: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Susanjane102. It is a new one on me, but it appears the article creator was paid to start these (and many other unconnected article using a series of sock puppets).
I am assembling sources with an eye to eventually starting some of those (probably starting with Hotwire as it got the most attention) but it may take some time. If anyone wants to start one (that doesn't have a conflict of interest) it might be wise to sandbox it first and we can give it a look over to make sure it is OK (drop a note in on WT:CMC), as it can be more difficult recreating articles that have been deleted (especially ones under such shady circumstances).

I am working on a re-write of the article to try to cover all of Radical's titles and describe the Hollywood-Comics connection. Please have a look at the draft article at User:AkankshaG/sandbox, and let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks. AkankshaG ( talk) 00:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
I've looked at WP:WTUT, and don't see any prohibition against using a table format to list data. It seems to suggest just the opposite. Looking at the Hulk_(comics)#Collected_editions article, it looks as though tables are sometimes used in comics articles. I don't care about table vs. some other method, I'm just would like a recognizable way to display information about each comic. Suggestions? Thoughts? AkankshaG ( talk) 18:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi I'm working on a rewrite of the page. Switching it from Radical Comics to Radical Studios, as the company has evolved in that manner. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Robyso1 ( talk) 09:11, 02 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry if I missed this on the page, but did Radical go belly up? Their website doesn't seem to have been updated in a while and still lists Hercules as "upcoming". Spartan198 ( talk) 11:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
