Keep. They don't just use ANY artist to work on "The Incredible Hulk" or "The Amazing Spiderman". They use the best artists that they can get hold of. By default that makes ANY artist that works on these publications notable by default. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 18:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Strong Keep. Please try the template {{find}} before launching a deletion process. This artist is notable, you can find news and interviews on the web from good sources.

That's an interview which is a primary source, and a offhand name drop in the other article, as far as I can see. That's not substantial coverage. Gigs (talk) 23:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Keep I'm finding lots of coverage in The Plain Dealer, Chicago Tribune, The Washington Times and more. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 17:13, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

"Artists Angel Medina and Philip Tan illustrate the mess that will entrance the Spawn fan but will require that the average reader eat at least three hours before trying to digest the sequential-art event. " This is not coverage, this is an offhand mention of the name of the artist. So far no one has located any actual coverage to demonstrate notability. Gigs (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
I understand where you are coming from in that you want the best possible sources, but I find it hard to consider deleting an article on a comics artist who has had a 20 year career on some of the world's most popular comics and who has been written about by several major newspapers, when meanwhile at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1/0 (web comic) we have a lot of people that want to keep articles on webcomics that existed for only 3 years and have no coverage in reliable sources. It seems we have a Wikipedia:Systemic bias toward comics published on the internet recently. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 14:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
