Richard Marazano
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I have multiple reasons for putting this in an AfDD.

1. The person who wrote most of the article has the username Marazano. If you check him on the French Wikipedia, you will see that his user page says that he is an author. 2. For me, it fails WP:GNG, because the vast majority of the article only praises him for his writings, and the vast majority of it is unsourced. The only sources are ones confirming he wrote those books, not that they have gotten "critical acclaim" and "positive reviews", like the article states. 3. I have put this on AfDD before, but only 1 person voted (excluding a sockpuppet). Cheers! // 🌶️Jalapeño🌶️ Don't click this link! 14:45, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

 * P.S. "Marazano" uploaded the image of Marazano that is featured in the article, and used "Own work" when publishing it. Huh. Cheers! // 🌶️Jalapeño🌶️ Don't click this link! 14:47, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Strewth' the sourcing is rubbish! The second reference no longer points at anything to do with Marazano at all, and the other three barely mention his name. They are indeed reviews of the books, but only the sort of review I would expect of any book that's been published. He's clearly been involved in some successful books. What we really need here is some input from someone who actually knows about French Bande Dessinée who can assess which of the plethora of reviews are meaningful.
