This review of Alec Stevens' first graphic novel THE SINNERS shows that the L.A. READER gave his book "Critic's Choice: Book of the Week": http://alecstevens.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/the_sinners.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.13.76 (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Although Alec Stevens has published items, he and his work have received little to no reliable source press coverage. As noted at WP:COIN, the only person interested in editing the article appears edited by a publicist for the publishing company. In any event, Alec Stevens has not received enough coverage in reliable sources that are independent of Alec Stevens or his employers to develop an attributable article on the topic. The topic fails general notability guidelines. I also am nominating Calvary Comics, which was made a redirect without consensus. -- Jreferee T/C 06:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep. The work he's done does seem interesting. --Gwern (contribs) 20:02 23 September 2007 (GMT)
• Keep He has done work for DC and other major publishers including working with Neil Gaiman. On Calvary Comics I don't really have an opinion. It works fine as a redirect unless the Stevens entry is deleted (as attempts to start that entry seem to have been headed off). (Emperor 22:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC))
• Keep. He seems notable to me. Lambiek and the Grand Comic Book Database Project are two pretty reliable sources. Stephen Day 22:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
