Contested prod. Interesting company, but this COI article doesn't pass WP:AUTHOR--I can only find one independent third party source (which is cited in the article), and it is more about his company and its products than it is about him. Like I said in my prod, come back in a few years when you're notable. And preferably let someone else write about you. Valfontis (talk) 17:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clearly fails WP:BIO, WP:N, WP:GNG. Conflict-of-interest editors on anonymous IPs who do nothing other than remove PROD and maintenance tags doesn't exactly encourage others to clean up the article if it was notable, either. tedder (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Self-published author who does not appear to have been the subject of multiple reliable secondary sources. The OregonLive reference given in the article could lend a small amount of notability to the graphic novel which is the focus of the article, but is not sufficient to establish the author's notability  Jebus989 ✰ 19:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
