Why is this page being considered for deletion then, when it is referring to an actual person in the comics industry. I think the external links included provide enough evidence of that the information included is correct? Marvel 1973 (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Marvel 1973 I tell you what, please just go ahead and delete the article. I have neither the time nor the patience to be bothered with this. Just please bear one thing in mind: there are articles on here regarding lesser known comic artists that are smaller, less detailed and with less reference that are left up.

 * Yes, that is probably true--but that doesn't mean that an unverified article on someone who is probably not notable needs to exist. If the person is notable by our standards, we'd love to have that article, but please keep in mind that there is also a burden of evidence (what Wikipedia allows as evidence), and you can't leave all of that to others. Acquainting yourself with the guidelines, it seems to me, can be expected, and editors here are more than willing to help you out--but if you say "OK just blank it," and we have no reason to believe the person is in fact notable, then yes, it will be blanked. I'm sorry your first experience wasn't the best, but don't let that stop you. If a person is notable, in your opinion, write the article with the proper references to prove it. Good luck.
