Is what appears to be a single comic publication (by a notable publisher, for sure) sufficient for notability? That appears to be the only potential basis for notability for this person. As an outsider to this field, my feeling is delete, but I'd like more thoughts. --Nlu (talk) 17:30, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Uncertain but possible weak delete - I'm voting delete because it appears that Sang Royal was released two years ago and he hasn't released any recent work since then. I had strong feelings that reliable sources may be French and this is so, Google US provided all French sources and appropriately, Google France provided additional French sources. Unfortunately, I am not fluent with French, but several of them seem to focus with Sang Royal. I also believe that additional reliable sources may be Chinese, considering that the artist is from China. I used the Chinese variation of his name (刘冬子) that the article provides but found no article at Chinese Wikipedia, I also noticed that a French Wikipedia article hasn't been started.

 * Delete: One source isn't enough for notability, and the source itself isn't reliable. Google searches for both Sang Royal and the author give very few results showing any notability.Lugia2453 (talk) 01:37, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I've removed it from WikiProject Deletion sorting/Anime and manga because the Anime and Manga wikiproject does not cover manhua. Maybe WikiProject Deletion sorting/Comics and animation would be the correct place to list it? Calathan (talk) 19:53, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
