Delete. Fails WP:BLP and WP:N, with a distinct lack of non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) ✄ ✄ ✄ 15:30, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per lack of reliable, independent coverage. Most of the hits I found for "David Cherry" were for a history professor who writes books about Roman law, and this guy has more of a claim to notability than the comic book artist. Similarly, "David A. Cherry" mostly returns material on a prominent neurosurgeon. You'd think that, with the web's fixation on pop culture, a comic book artist would get as many or more hits than a history professor or a neurosurgeon if he was at all notable.

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 10:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being artist guest of honor at a Worldcon seems adequate notability, limited to at most one person per year since there have been Worldcons, making the count approximately 70. Being nominated for the Hugo Award 8 11 times seems also to be adequate evidence of notability, per WP:ANYBIO#1. (Sources for facts in the article would be helpful, however.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Arthur Rubin, who I see is doing good work adding sources. Artw (talk) 23:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has won notable awards, proving he is notable. Dream Focus 02:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per arthur rubin. book is from donning, a small but significant specialty publisher of sf/fantasy work.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:22, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A major name in SF/fantasy book cover illustration, with adequate markers of notability in our article. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ANYBIO #1 is tailored to this, as Arthur Rubin pointed out. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
