The result was delete. Interestingly, all the internal wikilinks are for an actor in the HBO series "The Wire".--Kubigula (talk) 04:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Does not appear to meet WP:BIO, and all references are to blogs or online magazines, so article also fails WP:V. Stifle (talk) 08:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment: Although this may meet CSD A7 as an nn-bio, please allow this AFD to run its course as the creator has asserted notability. Stifle (talk) 09:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: As the creator of the article, allow me to add that there is one reference to a commercial print publication that he translated (Tokyo Zombie) and that two of the "online sources" are maintained by reputable comics journals (Comics Journal and ComixTalk).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Fails WP:BIO. The TCJ mention is a trivial mention in a blog entry (you have to scroll a long way down for a quick paragraph mention). I'd recommend Baudyhorror sandbox this and work on it there as it is possible it could make the grade eventually but on the evidence presented there it has a way to go yet. I'd be happy to look it over if any important changes take place and give my opinion if it stands a chance of passing an AfD. (Emperor (talk) 16:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC))
