The Creep (Comics)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Prodded this article about a comic book on 8/14 with the reason: "No reliable sources establishing notability. Article also has biased, advertising tone." Prod removed on 8/16; defense on Talk page consisted of "There are lots of articles about comic series; this article is within the scope of WikiProject:Comics; the tone will eventually be fixed." The problems with the tone are obvious and nobody's made any attempt at improvement since the article was tagged in January (or since it was prodded). I couldn't find any reliable information on Google to show this is a notable comic, but "The Creep" is not the easiest search term to target. Propaniac 17:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment While struggling to figure out why my AFD wasn't posting correctly, I noticed that The Creep (comics) redirects to a list of minor Judge Dredd characters; that seems to be a different Creep. Propaniac 17:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment it is. I suspect it might be better removing the redirect and turning it into a disambiguation page. (Emperor 17:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC))
 * Weak keep this does exist and was published in the Dark Horse Presents anthology (#56-64) and is mentioned as one of his works on reliable sites  so it must be a solid contribution to his oeuvre. From what I can see it'd be worth leaving in for now - the big problem is that it needs a major clean up as it is an unencyclopedic style. The world might not end if this was deleted but I think it has potential to be a solid article about part of a notable artist's work for big comic publishing company.

 * Delete nice artwork may generate sympathy, but lack of any independent sources demonstrating notability means this comic fails WP:FICTION. --Gavin Collins 11:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
