All of the extant articles used for references here are problematic: there are interviews with the subject (see WP:IV) that are not about the subject but rather his work. It seems his work is notable. But the interviews tell us nothing about the author other than that he wrote some comics. The first thing that shows up in a Google search is this very Wikipedia article, followed by interviews about his work and then his publications. Substantive discussion about the subject in reliable independent sources? Am not seeing it. A loose noose (talk) 23:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - He's close to meeting the third criteria of WP:AUTHOR, but he's not there yet. As an aside, the ranking of the Wikipedia article in a Google search is immaterial because they're often the top result regardless of the subject. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Author of the page here. I won't vote, but here's why I think he meets AUTHOR #3. Has he created a significant collective body of work? Well, here's what he's written. I'm not going to count all those but it looks like a couple hundred issues over 15 years. Arguably significant. Has his work been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews? I'd say so - looks like his work has been covered by Publisher's Weekly, Comic Book Resources, Time, Newsarama, and Broken Frontier. Good enough for me. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:37, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Response to Cerebellum - 200 comics in 15 years averages out to 1.1 per month. For a writer of monthly comics, that's very underwhelming. None of his work seems to have garnered much acclaim. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:52, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Regarding WP:NAUTHOR #3, a couple of hundred strikes me as "multiple". Thincat (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Thincat:, please note that's a couple hundred issues of monthly comics. Per #3, installments of periodicals shouldn't typically counted separately. A significant portion of his work has also been on pre-established franchises that he did not co-create. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:26, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
