Tim Buckley (artist)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Concerns about notability. Only two references are both by the man himself, and the Ctrl+Alt+Del webcomic is in itself not notable. Whilst the charity work is nice, the rest of the information doesn't really seem to be notable either, he is an artist who has attended some conventions, and released two comics.

A search for sources on these two comics doesn't seem to turn up anything third party, although maybe I am missing something. I think a discussion would be best, especially since there was a recent related AfD that closed as delete, seen here: Articles for deletion/Ctrl+Alt+Del. Taelus (talk) 11:26, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Note, the previous AfD here was closed to redirect and merge to Ctrl+Alt+Del, which has since been deleted at Articles for Deletion, thus I don't think there are any attribution issues here. Even if there are, we could probably histmerge to that target and then restore its current function as a redirect. --Taelus (talk) 11:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Not directly relevant to WikiProject VideoGames, but a related discussion was listed there, thus they may be interested. --Taelus (talk) 11:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete; having abstained from the Ctrl+Alt+Del deletion, this article has all the same problems that article did, plus it's a BLP. Nifboy (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of secondary sources. Ctrl+Alt+Del has proven insufficiently notable, so anything associated should be deleted too. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:06, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find any evidence of significant coverage by independent, reliable sources. The best I've been able to find is a couple of trivial mentions in slightly debatable sources (e.g., ) and even they are mostly focussed on the webcomic which it has recently been decided is not notable. There is not enough information available to support a verifiable, neutral article about a living person. Guest9999 (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * keep admittedly, the webcomic itself is currently not extremely notable, although within the subculture of (gaming) webcomics it has its presence. If the authors of Penny Arcade are aware of the comic, then it is notable. . Besides that, the conversion to an animated series was a first, and well documented. It should also be noted that there is a demand for information about information to the series as evidenced by a demand on the 8th of march when the page to the webcomic was deleted a few days prior.

 * A brief passing mention, not really enough to make someone notable. I am sure there are alot of things that the creators of Penny Arcade have criticised, which are not all notable. The fact they are "aware" of Buckley doesn't really mean very much at all in terms of notability. --Taelus (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable artist of non-notable webcomic lacking in significant coverage by reliable sources. Biographies of living persons require highest quality references. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 18:27, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
