Scott Benson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not individually notable outside creating Night in the Woods. I originally planned to redirect this, but all of the inbound links referred to other people also named Scott Benson (including a comic artist and a politician), so I feel a deletion is better to avoid confusion over any other Scott Bensons.

 * Delete Non-notable. A Kickstarter, Twitter and a promotional/non-credible blog are not sufficient citations to verify notability. Netherzone (talk) 00:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete – cited references are not nearly enough to demonstrate that the subject meets relevant notability criteria. Citobun (talk) 14:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:GNGDlohcierekim (talk) 17:37, 10 May 2017 (UTC) Not sure what to make of added links. Thanks Clpo13.
 * Added links go more toward notability of Night in the Woods than to subject here. Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:26, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment A search on this person brings up a few sources not currently used in the article that might be worth looking into regarding notability, including (but not limited to):
 * http://www.cartoonbrew.com/interviews/scott-benson-discusses-the-premiere-of-ghost-stories-and-late-night-work-club-88039.html
 * http://cliqist.com/2017/03/29/night-in-the-woods-curious-cat-qa-scott-benson/
 * https://medium.com/@wsong/interview-scott-benson-on-night-in-the-woods-c6a7ed09367c
 * Remember, notability is based on what sources are available, not just what the article uses (WP:NEXIST). clpo13(talk) 18:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Clpo13's comment is well-taken, but still doesn't address the point made by TenPoundHammer that there is no notability outside Night in the Woods.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
