The result was keep. consensus is clear, but this does not preclude a merger discussion such as is happening. That does not require continuation of this AfD as there's no one arguing for deletion. StarMississippi 14:39, 15 April 2022 (UTC)reply
This comic artist and writer is clearly prolific and successful, but I cannot find significant and independent coverage of him.
WP:BEFORE gave me two additional interviews, which I have added to the External Links section of the article. The other references are:
Keep Added a few refs, will look at expanding further.

Keep Has at least 2 substantial sources - ComicsAlliance and Wired. There are interviews, which don't count for notability but show that he has gotten significant attention. I added sections to make the article more navigable.

Keep - The subject has written many traditionally and independently released comic books, for which there are ample reliable sources. I expanded the article a bit and cleaned up some things. The subject has received significant coverage. Thus, it meets
WP:GNG and passes
WP:BASIC. -

Keep - Go to any book shop and the children's section will be full of his work. From a quick google search there are ample sources, this easily passes the
WP:GNG.

Comment Which sources established his notability? Many seem to mention him in passing. Perhaps some of his work is notable but is this any different than a member of a band who is notable in regards to the band but not deserving an article independent of it? A redirect to
The Dandy seems appropriate until notability-establishing sources outside of interviews can be added.

I can't see why the Dandy would be the most appropriate redirect. The article itself mentions
Bear (comics) as his best known work and there are reliable sources on his more recent work like Bunny Vs Monkey too if you do a search online.

I named the sources above: ComicsAlliance and Wired (both in the ref list). Also, with his long list of publications, reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus (plus the two main sources and all of the interviews), he passes
WP:NAUTHOR. He's definitely not "a member of the band" as he both writes and illustrates his comics.
