Non-notable web comic artist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hill of Beans (talk • contribs) 20:51, February 19, 2009
 * Says who? And since when are you a good judge? -150.135.92.31
 * Keep - The "They're a webcomic artist, so they must not be notable" argument has been tired for quite some time. He's one of a handful of webcomic artists who financially supports himself solely on income obtained through his comic, his work has been published, and there are enough pages on Wikipedia that link to the article covering him and his work that deletion would be counterproductive and detrimental to Wikipedia. -Awa64 (talk) 21:37, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep - One book reference plus an interview indicates notability is not an issue. Looks like this article just needs some trawling for sources, not deletion. Ancemy (talk) 21:40, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Book references for webcomics authors/artists are very hard to come by. Agree with others, notability is not a real issue here, like many articles this one could use some cleanup. --InkSplotch (talk) 22:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As the article's subject, I should have no say, but considering my article was vandalized like a billion times this morning, the idea that nobody cares about me is hilarious. --ItsWalky! (talk) 22:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: One of the more notable webcomic artist out there. --Carnildo (talk) 22:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
