Really this is borderline A7, since I don't see a real credible claim to notability here. But I'm taking it here for the community to assess: BLP without references that establish notability. Drmies (talk) 19:43, 10 December 2010 (UTC) I tell you what, please just go ahead and delete the article. I have neither the time nor the patience to be bothered with this. Just please bear one thing in mind: there are articles on here regarding lesser known comic artists that are smaller, less detailed and with less reference that are left up.Marvel 1973 (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Marvel 1973
 * [copied from creator's talk page by Drmies:] Why is this page being considered for deletion then, when it is referring to an actual person in the comics industry. I think the external links included provide enough evidence of that the information included is correct? Marvel 1973 (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Marvel 1973
 * For starters, the sources given are not reliable sources by our standards. Given that they aren't, they cannot really verify much; they simply aren't independent, or, in the case of the two interviews, they are not published by reliable (by our standards) websites. Moreover, such sources do not establish that the subject is notable according to our guidelines--for instance, WP:ARTIST. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:26, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Note Following the above edit, I have tagged the page for CSD G7, no other significant contribs. Pol430  talk to me 21:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I have seen that you have gone ahead and done so. I personally felt that the subject of the article was credible and notable enough to warrant an page on this site, and tried to do so with the best of my ability. Instead of help and advice given to me by other users, I'm subjected to notices of deletion. I must add that I am extremely disappointed by the snobbery shown on this site. This was my first contribution to Wikipedia, I site I use very frequently... but it will most certainly be my last as well. Marvel 1973 (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Marvel 1970
