Doesn't seem to be notable. Most of the sources are primary, tangential mentions, or random listicles. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:32, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete because of lack of sources supporting notability of subject. Some forensics:
 * We have three works by college students -one about "Comics in the Evolving Media Landscape," another about "The tools of Webcomics: The infinite canvas and other innovations", and one more about "iComic: A Deeper Look Into the Adapting World of Cartoons"- in them, our subject gets mentioned respectively seven, two, and two times; a couple of corporate media-statements in French, one by Hachette that they'll be publishing something from Hiveworks, and another from Hiveworks' partner ActuaBD; and a post by Publishers Weekly about how comics have become "the King of Libraries" (the text on our subject takes one paragraph). All we're left with are the 2021 inclusion of Xellette Stillwell in Forbes "30 under 30" yearly list; a Comics Beat advertorial about our subject's "latest releases"; and a report focusing exclusively on Mari Naomi, "creator and maintenance person" for a number of databases, in which our subject is mentioned once as part of Naomi's past work; there's a great article titled "Nerds flame on at Flame Con: all the queer cheer is here" in which many persons, characters, publishers, and platforms are mentioned, plus our subject; Book Riot offers an article titled "5 Queer-friendly Comics Publishers You Should Know" and one of the five is out subject. And that's it. We do not have enough cumulative citations specifically about our subject, and not abt others. Personally? I hope eventually they arrive. -The Gnome (talk) 12:43, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
