S.A.M. (comics)

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

This comic is not notable, and the article does not include any source. The page is also barely unorphaned, with only the author and the disambiguation page Sam linking to it. BenzoAid (talk) 10:14, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to author’s page, which admittedly doesn’t look that great either. If there are any sources for this they’re probably in French which makes improvement difficult and unlikely even if they’re found. Dronebogus (talk) 10:30, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. BenzoAid (talk) 11:05, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't know why I was asked to give my view on this as I haven't been involved in the article. But according to WP:NBOOK it's notable if it's "has won a major literary award". According to the article it has won two awards. I don't know if they are notable or not. But there are no sources listed and that's a problem. // Liftarn (talk) 14:16, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I'd redirect this article but the target article is now also at AFD so I'm relisting in case anyone has a Plan B. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 17:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Apparently you were automatically invited to the AfD discussion because you made the 2nd edit on the page, back in 2004. Sorry for that BenzoAid (talk) 14:35, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * And the Angoulême International Comics Festival award, while the festival itself is major, the award is not, and shows 0 results on Google. The 2nd award does not give any results either, meaning the awards are likely very minor. They're both from the same year as well. So I can't find any sources, and original research is forbidden per WP:NOR. So yeah... BenzoAid (talk) 14:40, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Richard Marazano. I failed to find any suitable sources to support an article, only ones that confirm this existed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Funny thing is that Richard Marazano is in AfD because Marazano wrote his own article. It also looks like a promotional article or phising scam. So if both AfDD's pass, then the redirect will be broken. // 💪Benzo💪 (Send me a message!) (Here's what I've contributed.) 09:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Richard Marazano per above.  // Timothy :: talk  04:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
