Unreliably sourced article. A WP:BEFORE search offers little in the way of further sourcing. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article because it was linked to a dozen pages already, had an article in another language, and is the author of The Crystal and the Amulet, which has had an article on the English Wikipedia for years. I also linked to external databases, most of which have longer articles about him than this current stub --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 23:29, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• weak keep: There's a review of a book written about him [1], suggesting notability. This [2] was published on paper at one point but is now online; Cawthorn has an entry there. Oaktree b (talk) 00:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I added a couple of citations and am fairly sure that SF Encyclopedia (the online version of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction) can be considered reliable. I hope someone who knows more about science fiction and illustration can add a few more citations or edit. Is there a deletion sorting category for science fiction? The book mentioned above was written by his sister and published by a very small press. I am unsure if it adds to notability. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:18, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• weak keep, The book seems that it could suggest notability as per Oaktree b, and I generally agree with WomanArtistUpdates. As per Harmonia Amanda, It makes sense if the article is in another language for it to be in english as well (my thought however) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Cooldudeseven7 _{join in on the tea talk} 13:19, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly passes WP:SIGCOV. The author’s inclusion in a specialized encyclopedia alone make him encyclopedic under WP:5P1. Additionally, being the subject of a published biography reviewed in a journal also indicates notability. I suggest the nominator withdraw per WP:SNOW.4meter4 (talk) 16:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
