Subject is not notable. A news search turned up lots of results, but most of them were about different Tom Kerrs or were mirror sites. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment.. The article does cite one reliable source--the Comiclopedia at Lambiek--although this is perhaps not a strong indicator of notability given its vast database of artists. Also, I'd note that the blog references cited in the article make a compelling argument for the quality of his work over many decades; if someone more versed in UK comics than I am indicates that one or more of these bloggers qualify as "experts" in the field, I'd suggest we take a look at what they have to say. Mr. Kerr has a ton of credits over a long time, and it certainly seems possible that some reliable sources might be turned up with enough digging. Unfortunately I was unable to find anything else meaningful. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:29, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
