I deleted this page under criterion for speedy deletion A7, because the page "does not assert the importance or significance of its subject". I came to the conclusion that all the potential claims for importance in the article were not truly significant to justify inclusion. Founding a privately circulated comic magazine, and writing articles in them are not truly exceptional things. If you think this judgment is wrong you can challenge it in a deletion review.
Further the article was not written in the sought of neutral, dispassionate tone of an encyclopedia article. As you explain, it was an autobiography, which means that there was a conflict of interest in writing the article.
In order to be considered notable for inclusion in Wikipedia, a subject needs to have had multiple non-trivial mentions in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This article did not demonstrate that. If you can demonstrate that the subject of this article does have such sources then it might be acceptable; however, you should not be writing about yourself.

I am credited in fps magazine, at Cracked Mirror Publications, and others. It doesn't make sense that I would not then have any importance as you put it. Other members are valid for their other credits, and the publication itself is. My deletion makes no sense in that light.
