Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Kenneth Mahood

After several submissions in which I firmly believed the sources cited in the draft article conformed to the guidelines listed in WP:NOTABLE, it seems to me that the reliable sources I cited in support of Mahood's notability were the main evidence for his notability to be located without recourse to the Francis/Taylor database. Similar sources identified by another editor were not materially different enough from the sources I cited to justify the work needed to enter them in hopes they would satisfy the reviewers who examined my draft.

I have requested the other editor who discovered similar sources to mine to enter those sources into the document. I am not interested in wasting more time on this project. I had hopes he'd have better luck, and don't care whether he or I are credited with the article. All this time, I only sought to fill an odd vacuum in wikipedia in which other British cartoonists of similar renown had articles in wikipedia and Kenneth Mahood did not.

Under WP:VOLUNTEER, I'm choosing to disengage from this particular project, in the hope that another editor will revive it at a later date, and hopefully have more luck than I did in convincing reviewers that a man who'd had editorial cartoons published in Punch from 1949 to the early 1960s (becoming their assistant art editor by then), who'd become The London Times`s first editorial cartoonist, then was an editorial and sports cartoonist for the Daily Mail from 1969 to his retirement in 2009 at the age of 80, and who during that time was also an exhibited abstract paint and collage artist, and whose work also graced the New Yorker from the 1960s onward is a notable man. loupgarous (talk) 06:14, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
