Dean Rankine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article created in 2007. Bad wikification and this living person doesn't seem to have notability. --Bageense(fala) 12:03, 26 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I agree that this article needs work, but Dean Rankine is a significant and well known Australian comic artist, a frequent guest at conventions, and well known for his Simpsons work over recent years. --Ian T

 * Keep - This article should be kept, Dean Rankine does pass WP:NBIO, but this article needs to be improved. Swag Gangster  • 12:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep you do not get gigs like he does withpout being recognized by your peers for your contribution to the field. It's tough to find in-depth RS, but I suggest that he meets WP:ARTIST based on peer recognition and contribs to the field.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:55, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I can find several sources at least bringing Rankine up, but only The Sidney Morning Herald actually writes some information about them. He gets brought in as a guest on a lot of conventions, but I can't find any sources that really talk about his career. I did find one interview, but I don't know if it is a reliable source. I feel fairly neutral on this AfD. ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 10:51, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to me to easily get over CREATIVE and AUTHOR.  This seems to indicate a major and key role in many publications held by many libraries, both large and small.  Aoziwe (talk) 23:12, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
