This was originally tagged for speedy deletion but there is kind of some claim to notability. He shows up a lot in Google in association with some famous people, which I know is not notable in itself, but I felt it warranted wider discussion. ... disco spinster   talk  00:58, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Dearth of third party sources. Website looks so amateurish I'm amazed at the claim about being #1 on Google - are there any official tables of this? Ohconfucius (talk) 03:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Fix This page should be moved until it is fixed. The sourcing is bad and certain statements such as the the "first cartoonist to go green" definitely needs to be substantiated. I put little stock in the google ranking, since that is an art on and of itself and any competent web guy could help manufacturer that statistic. I would say moved before deleting, the author needs better sources and to verify some of his/her claims.Quidproquo1980 (talk) 06:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being around notable people doesn't make you notable.....all sounds like some puffery. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:30, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I think this comes under the heading of "don't bite the newcomers". --Auric (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
