Non notable author, fails WP:BIO. Among the 45 distinct Google hits[1], the only very small claim to fame is that he has collaborated on the "True Porn 2" comics anthology (published by Alternative Comics (publisher)), but apart from having his name listed as one of the contributors on some websites, he doesn't seem to have received any attention for this or any other comic.

Ryan Pequin here. I didn't create the original article about me but I thought I'd try to argue my case for just a second. First off, as opposed to the claim above, I was not only listed as a contributor for True Porn 2 but was reviewed, albeit briefly, for my piece here: http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_12.29.05/theend/lovebites.php

Additionally, I've just recently been nominated for a Shuster Award for Canadian Webcomics, which can be seen here: http://joeshusterawards.com/story.asp?storyID=78

I also have done illustration work for Somethingawful.com as seen here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/electric-heart-true.php

I'd also like to point out that the main reason I assume I was wiki'd in the first place was not for my short True Porn 2 piece but for my autobio comic at http://www.ryanpeq.com which I've been updating for close to three years. Lastly, I do play an at least slightly significant role in the autobio webcomics community with my hosting of the Journal Comic Jam.

Thanks for you input. For those not following links, I just want to say that the Shuster Award nomination is a category populated both by the judges and the readers, and has (if I count correctly) over eigthy nominations. Fram 20:20, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
