 *  weak delete Keep Merge the relevant info into Happy Tree Friends. Notability not inherited, yada yada policy (just kidding) this is a really tough one. I wish I'd been able to find even one interview directly with him or proof that he'd been a featured event speaker or something! Oh well. --Torchwood Who? (talk) 23:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Upon further research into WP:CREATIVE I think this article fits based on the success of the subject's multiple creative properties.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 03:36, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

 *  Weak Keep I'll admit to some confusion to the nominator stating "absolutely no third party sources found", when the Find sources above seems to refute that statement. Add them and let's close this AFD.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 09:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Addendum: Upped from "weak". I've done a bit of expanding and sourcing... and yes, the article needs more... but it appears do-able.  Since this individual's creations have have been covered in multiple reliable sources over several years, and have received a great deal of critical response, I am now convinced that per guideline, this individual may be determined as notable per WP:CREATIVE's "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."  He did. They have.   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:13, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
