Tracy Yardley
Contested prod by Mustafa_Bevi as bad article for several obvious reasons: autobiography, person of doubtful notability, and pretty badly written so bringing to AfD. She is a "penciler for Archie Comics' "Sonic the Hedgehog" which sounds like doubtful grounds for notability. Eusebeus 15:13, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Delete for the reasons I gave as above. Mustafa Bevi
 * Delete - no sign of notability. --Ajdz 17:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep' and cleanup, seems borderline notable. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 21:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. We do have an article about Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie), where Tracy Yardley is mentioned as one of over 2 dozen pencillers. --Austrian 20:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Badlydrawnjeff. Stifle (talk) 00:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep per 5K audience standard for published work. Monicasdude 18:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * By that logic, the person who creates the content for the ads on the New York Times deserves an article. As well as every single newspaper reporter, byline or not, on a paper with a circulation of 5000 or higher, or any other person whose work appears on the pages of the paper.

 * There has been a working consensus for some time, well before my involvement in Wikipedia, that comic book pencillers generally fall under the "author" criteria for notability. There's no such consensus regarding advertising designers. Monicasdude 17:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've asked for clarification on this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics. User:Zoe|(talk) 18:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete...fails to assert any form of notability other than being a penciller. Miserably fails the Google test, with only ~277 unique hits. While being a penciller may be notable, has she been involved with the creation of any notable characters or content? As it stands, the article is an autobiographical stub with a quote that takes up 95% of the article, and it does not look like there is information to expand it past the stub.--Toffile 02:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
