Doesn't seem to be a notable artist, I can only find the one mention, in Newsarama. The characters he alleges to have worked on were created by someone else. Seems to be more of a CV than anything else, Wikipedia isn't a directory of comic book artists. Sionk (talk) 12:08, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

• Delete: Non-notable author. It would also free up the namespace to be redirected to S-Town, which was created by another man named Brian Reed (or indeed his own article if he ever qualifies for notability for multiple pieces of media). Macktheknifeau (talk) 15:08, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
• Keep: I have found a number of interviews of him with a number of comic news and video game websites. I have added these references to the page. A search on Comicbase finds that he is given credit for writing over 300 comic issues.tomburbine (talk) 19:38, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

  Comment: Those articles seem to be discussing things he's written, not the man himself. They would be useful sources on any notable specific comics or games he wrote for, but don't feel like significant, in depth coverage of himself as a person. Macktheknifeau (talk) 03:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

• Delete I found some interviews with him from notable sources (Comic Book Resources, Newsarama), but they're about his comic work instead of him. Most of his work has been second tier at best in terms of prestige, reception, and sales. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
• Reed was the lead writer for the Halo 5: Guardians video game, which sold approximately 4 million copies.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete - Subject lacks notability and significant coverage in reliable sources. Meatsgains^(talk) 00:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete sources on page, all within comic book world but none bluelinked, do include some interviews with Reed. What I am not seeing is any notice being taken in bluelinked or general audience publications. A gNews search on "Brian Reed" + Marvel turned up nothing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
