Extvia

Non-notable webcomic artist; lack of reliable sources. —Emufarmers^(T/C) 11:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This person meets the notability criteria just about as well as I do- we both exist, can be verified to exist, and have web sites. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Google search turns up little other than deviantArt links. No major independent third party coverage. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 19:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Retain.~~ According to the "Creative professionals" section of the aforementioned Notability Standards page, I believe this artist can be considered "Notable" by the widespread respect given by his peers and appreciators. Evidence of this can been seen by his extensive list of deviantART "watchers," people who elect to receive notifications every time he submits a work onto the website (the list can be reached here). The situation is similar with another site which he has an art profile page at, Fur Affinity, at which he has no less than 3,767 watchers. If that's not enough, four of his pieces have received deviantART.com's "Daily Deviation" status. His "Okami Hill Autumn" also ranks 9^th most popular anthropomorphic artwork[1] on deviantART at the time of this posting, and his deviantART profile page sports over 964,000 page views. I would therefore assert that he is rather popular within his genre. --Madcomputerscientist (talk) 06:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for considering, Orbital Delegate, and I'll trust your judgment. I relinquish my previous stance. --Madcomputerscientist (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He may be considered notable by the community he's a member of, but as far as I can tell he doesn't meet our specific notability standards. Orbital Delegate (talk) 14:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
