 * Draftify Delete - The subject of this article is a non-notable illustrator. He does not meet GNG nor NARTIST criteria for notability. The existing sourcing is all primary, rather than WP:SIGCOV in fully independent reliable sources. An online BEFORE search reveals more primary sources and social media. It's definitely WP:TOOSOON for this artist. Netherzone (talk) 22:28, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have thought about this and have decided to change my iVote to Draftify as an alternative to deletion per and . Netherzone (talk) 02:49, 8 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Draftify I see an artist with some non-trivial RS that borders on meeting WP:BASIC: like 1 or this inteview in a Mormon Artist Magazine 2 also this blurb 3 Lightburst (talk) 16:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Lightburst, thank you for what you found in a BEFORE. I too like to save artists articles if there is potential. However, the first two you list are primary sources: interviews. The first does have some editorial content so might count towards notability, but the other does not have any editorial content, just simple questions. The third source you found is a press release, which also a primary source. These might work to back up claims, but anyone can say anything they want about themselves and we need what independent RS's say about the person to establish notability.

 * Thanks I know it is thin. I look for ATD when I can and a draft is a good compromise IMO. Lightburst (talk) 01:47, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete I am not finding reliable sources for this article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. The thing about illustrators of American children's books is that you have to look at all the reviews. There are quite a few in Newspapers.com, calling out Dorman's illustrations specifically. The other places I would look are ProQuest (overlaps with Newspapers.com but covers additional papers and can be easier to navigate) and Gale (includes magazine/journal reviews of illustrations) and of course EBSCOHost in Wikipedia Library. I would also strongly recommend getting rid of all the redlinks. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:00, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
