This article has multiple issues and has been tagged as such since July 2008. It is clear that the issues aren't going away any soon, hence my nomination. We should not be retaining poor-quality articles simply because their subjects are notable. IncinerateAfterThoroughExamination (talk) 13:52, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep - Looking at the state of the article when it was tagged ], it was in pretty poor shape. It looks like there's been plenty of improvement since then, but no one removed the tags or discussed them on the talk page. I don't think it fits those tags now, and would suggest they could be safely removed. --InkSplotch (talk) 14:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Upgrading my vote to 'speedy' after it seems the nominator has been indef-blocked by a checkuser. --InkSplotch (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Delete While the AfD was created by a blocked user, there are serious issues with this article. Of the references listed, only two are independent of the cartoonist - and they're both 404. TNXMan 00:08, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep because I don't see the problems you are talking about. The sources do not warrant a full-out delete.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete Notability does not seem to be there, although he probably is a good cartoonist. The two secondary sources cited do not lead to any information on him. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:30, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
