Gordon Bell (comics)

Outside of the one obituary and a blogspot uploading his work, I'm not finding anything on this guy, so I feel he's not notable. Rusted AutoParts 00:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Given the fact that he just died the easiest thing to find is his obit. However, dig a little deeper into Google and you can even find him referenced on Russian academic sits. Not bad for someone around 80 who did most of their work before Facebook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.16.26.90 (talk) 03:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose deletion. Gordon Bell is a significant name in British comics and cartooning. The article may be poorly referenced (I've added another ref, so that's a press obituary and a reference in a scholarly book, which I think should be enough to establish notability) but that's no reason for deletion. This proposal should be summarily closed and replaced with a refimprove tag, --Nicknack009 (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Since the nomination, Nicknack009 has added a good bit to the article (including references). Would have voted keep anyway. Subject is definitely notable. Wickedjacob (talk) 06:12, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
