Biography of a living person with no reliable sources. The only source given is a blog on ComixTalk ([1]) which was generally deemed not to be reliable following discussion. The only other sources I can find unreliable, blogs or otherwise ([2], [3], [4]). Without independent reliable sourcing it will not be possible to verify the content of the article and per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons we should "Be very firm about the use of high quality sources" for this type of article. In this case that might be especially true as the questionable sources are mainly describing some kind of alleged dispute. Several stand alone articles on the individual's works have been deleted or merged following discussion (Examples: 1, 2, 3), the remaining article on his work (Basil Flint, P.I.) itself lacks any third party sourcing. I do not feel that merging the content anywhere would be appropriate as its entirely unsourced (or unreliably source) information about a living person.
