[edit] VfD results

from VfD:

Doesn't appear to be notable.Ok, the TMNT thing makes him notable even to me. Keep. --fvw* 04:40, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)

• Delete Keep. -- JamesTeterenko 05:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It appears that he is also the owner/creator of Heavy Metal (magazine). See here. Along with TMNT, that is notable enough for me. -- JamesTeterenko 19:45, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. jni 07:42, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to keep. jni 08:54, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails the Google test (38 hits). David Johnson 13:41, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Actually, it passes the Google test, 3,710 hits for Kevin-Eastman "teenage mutant ninja turtles" —siroχo 22:20, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: The less said, the better. Not notable. Geogre 13:48, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. According to what links to the page, this guy created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.--Lucky13pjn 14:32, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Redirect to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They're notable, he's mentioned there as the creator, as of 2004 that's about 99% of everything there is to say about him. Anything more can go into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles until there's enough to warrant a separate article. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 15:03, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• If he's done nothing of note since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles then redirect. A quick google suggest that this genuinely is the name of one of the creators of that comic. Average Earthman 17:20, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep or at least redirect. First of all, David Johnson, [1]. And second, [2]. 630 and 640,000 is pretty considerable. If this guy created TMNT, then that's notable enough to keep him in. Add that to the article, and try to get more information on him. --Fermatprime 19:09, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely notable. The article does need work, however. DCEdwards1966 19:59, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, he's notable and influential in the comics area. But a general call needs to go out for expansion on this article. Inky 20:16, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, fails the google test. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 21:09, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Is this a poor attempt at comedy, or did you mistype? RickK 06:42, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep (see above) —siroχo 22:20, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons above. Samaritan 23:18, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Aside from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Heavy Metal Magazine, he also founded the Words and Pictures Museum in Northampton, Massachusetts and is married to B-movie actress Julie Strain. -Sean Curtin 00:25, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep He's quite notable :) How did he fail a google test? Someone actually decided not to google thinking who's he? --Asmodai 21:38, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. He's worth a stub. TMNT was huge. --Minority Report (entropy rim riot) 02:19, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. TMNT, Heavy Metal, and marrying Julie Strain makes him worth at least a stub. --Calton 06:01, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep it. I believe even the VfD nominator now agrees this is keepable. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 04:20, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep this was one of the requests for articles in the Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Culture_and_Fine_Arts#Comic_books comics section.
• Keep. So, if I married Julie Strain, I'd be eligible for an article? Sweet! —tregoweth 18:56, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Worked for me! —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 06:51, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Obvious keep. Eastman is a highly notable figure within his field. Gamaliel 07:29, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. He is a significant figure within the comic industry. --kees 03:30, 2004 Dec 3 (UTC)
