The result was delete. A WP:BLP with zero reliable sources after three weeks of AfD gets an automatic delete. Can be recreated with proper sourcing, if there is any. Sandstein 07:00, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While the references are poor and the article worse, I believe he is notable for his contributions to Platinum Grit, Oglaf, Double the Fist and The Chaser. Doctorhawkes (talk) 06:02, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weakish keep Certainly the article needs a rewrite with proper referencing. I easily and quickly saw a reasonable but light number of independent sources of a range of reliability from official government sites to almost the other end of the spectrum. There are reviews and mentions of him and his work not just in English but other languages so the subject is known internationally too. I think there is sufficient WP:NEXIST to demonstrate notability. The remaining question is whether the article stays and gets worked on or whether it gets WP:TNTed and redone from scratch.

Delete The article has a total lack of reliable sources. This is not an acceptable thing for a biography of a living person. IMDb seeks to be a comprehensive listing of everyone ever appearing in film, we do not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unsourced BLP. the keep !votes have used a WP:MUSTBESOURCES argument. LibStar (talk) 04:30, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. I do not believe I have. I did actually look. I did find a non trivial number of sources, and like I said above they were of varying quality. But yes certainly not a solid keep. Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 11:56, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Poorly-written promotional piece, immediately evidenced by "known for his exploits" in the header. An animated work he created has gained minor third-party press (HuffPost, The Australian), but it's not enough to establish notability as he's otherwise just mentioned in passing everywhere else. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 17:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
