Recreated speedy; less obvious now, but I still don't beleive the notability concerns have been addressed. Additionally, the article has no independent sources. &mdash; Coren (talk) 16:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep He gets instant name recognition from me. He was one of the original artists for Magic the Gathering and as he produced art for core cards like Mountain, his work will be familiar to millions.  It would be easy to cite more references from gaming magazines like Scrye.  Colonel Warden (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless WP:NOTE is shown with WP:RS. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not sufficiently notable.  PKT (talk) 23:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Hoover is notable. However, the article should be improved. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 10:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails the WP:BIO guideline and the WP:LIVING official policy as there are no reliable third party sources. That he is a graphic artist who worked on a popular project is not in dispute. However, the mentions he gets are on blogs rather than reliable sources. Our purpose here is to record the sum of human knowledge, not to be the judge of it. Our measurement for notability is when a reliable independent peer reviewed source has made a judgement.  SilkTork  * SilkyTalk 12:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I have added some citations to the article. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep; there seems to be sufficient cites to keep.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it is a referenced article that asserts notability. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As I see it, the problem is that there is exactly one independent source&mdash; the interview. Besides that, two self-published sources, one passing mention as being present at an event, and a database listing.  How does that meet WP:BIO? &mdash; Coren (talk) 05:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. Avruch talk 03:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep He is certainly notable. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Mild keep. DS (talk) 15:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
