Rescue discussion

Keep. Mark Burgess is an important British illustrator, as I believe the above remarks are meant to suggest. He certainly qualifies as being notable (or a lot of other articles on illustrators and designers will have to go). Illustration is an important part of modern culture, those who excel should be mentioned in Wikipedia. The article should not be deleted. If it does not meet the other criteria of Wikipedia, than that is the issue that should be addressed. --JHvW (talk) 14:16, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

It seems pretty obvious to me that this article was written by this Mark Burgess himself to look more important. Does someone who wrote only two books and who is not very well known can have such a detailed article ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NoirOrchestre (talk • contribs) 09:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

• Actually, Mark Burgess (User:Marcus civis) added next to nothing to the article (at least directly). I wrote around 85% of the article if you check the history. I did e-mail the author to ask him to check whether I got my facts right and got him to upload the image shown on the page, but he did not contribute any of the content; in fact, I had asked him not to edit the article due to possible conflict of interest. Moreover, I did not add anything which I could not find a source for. Anyhow, the rescue has already been completed and the AfD discussion agreed that he is notable. The article is so detailed due to rescue efforts and because I wanted to expand it 5x to make WP:DYK. —CodeHydro 14:22, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
