Delete, & redirect to No 4th Wall to Break, non-notable... I hesitate to do this, because I am actually a fan of this artist's work... however, as the article for this artist's comic Built for Comfort was deleted as non-notable, and as this artist's biography is available at Comixpedia, I find this article to be unnecessary. The best option is to delete and redirect to No 4th Wall to Break, I believe

 * Delete as per Tedzsee. -- Kjkolb 02:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Humph, here we go again! The thing is now, how do you decide whether a person is notable?  A search for my name on google reveals that all but three of the first 20 entries are about me.  Between the online games, the robot wars stuff, and three webcomics, one could argue that I was at least quite interesting. -- Hijamiefans
 * Comment. Indeed.  Mind you a google search for "Lucas Teodoro da Silva" reveals three pages of hits about no one but me.  The first 2 searches on "lucastds" hit sources about me, and a search for "tedzsee" gives 6 pages of google entries about me.  The thing is: Rosa Parks is notable.  Martin Luther King Jr. is notable.  Lucas TdS?  Probably no more than you.  And I think, until such time as your comic appears in this encyclopedia, the biography probably doesn't warrant a space here either.  Now, I was one of those who staunchly defended the notability of said comic, but even so, I was uncomfortable with the idea of the bio appearing here.  The precident is that webcartoonists usually don't have bios in this encyclopedia.  Even the entry for Nicholas Gurewitch simply redirects to his comic (ie. he doesn't warrant a seperate entry because it is his COMIC that is notable, not him).  I dunno.  That's why I thought a redirect would be more appropriate.  You can always post the bio on your userpage, as most wikipedians do. --Tedzsee 20:21, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. NN.  One way for me to decide non-notability of people is to think: "I am non-notable.  Am I more notable than this person?" Here, yes. A yes answer means farewell to the article. Xoloz 17:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I also like Jamie's work, but I just can't see this meeting any reasonable encyclopedic standards. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 20:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete A copy of this page is on Comixpedia and because it doesn't contain any other details about Jamie himself apart from his sites, which he can place on his user profile and not create a seprate article about it. For this, I hope that Jamie will forgive me.  Mr Dave 22:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
