 * Delete, fails WP:GNG with no substantial coverage from in-depth, independent reliable sources. GABgab 23:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I made a good faith search for independent reliable sources discussing Anderton and found nothing. The only source in the article is the book he illustrated, which is not independent so does not establish notability., we do not make deals like that and you should not be editing the article anyway due to your conflict of interest. If you want the article saved, then bring forth reliable sources. That is all that matters in this debate. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  23:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment, the book he has illustrated could be covered under point 3 of WP:NARTIST ie. "3.The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work.", the book does have a wikiarticle, but whether this is enough to warrant a standalone article for him? .. a few lines about him could be added to that article.
