Talk:Mike Phillips (illustrator)

Article proposed for deletion
I have looked for reliable third party references and failed to find any. I have also listed this biography as having Notability problems on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Children's literature for several days and there have been no objections. If anyone would like to discuss this, or object, please post a message on my Talk page.--Plad2 (talk) 20:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Identity
Five years later, I agree with that replacement by a redirect. Scholastic provides no biographical information about it, not even the common one- or two-liner. Polish Wikipedia alone carries a page for him, apparently a translation of our old one-liner, pl:Mike Phillips (ilustrator).

Mike Alan Phillips. I did find him at VIAF, thus the Library of Congress and several other national libraries. See template Authority control, added to the page today. does now bundle him with (the Wikidata item for) Michael Phillips (critic) --the Chicago Tribune film critic also born 1961, we say-- but I don't see that any of the libraries is confused.

The Scholastic website clearly supports what we say, that he is or was the principal illustrator of Horrible Geographies, only a secondary contributor to Horrible Histories (principally illustrated by Mike Brown), so the redirect target is appropriate. --P64 (talk) 22:28, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
