No individual notability. Has worked on some video games, and was the colourist for a comic book. No third party coverage, other than a few mentions and in lists of names. Also appears to be an autobiography (the first edit set off the COI tag). Hairhorn (talk) 13:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many articles on Concept artists already exist on wikipedia, Ryan Church is a good example. While short, this article is entirely neutral and I believe the subject matter and IP mentioned do make it notable as theyre AAA titles in the comics and video gaming genres. Autaux (talk) 13:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While it's perfectly legitimate to vote on your own article at AFD, it's probably worth pointing out that Autaux is the creator of this article. He's also presumably the subject of the article, given that Adam Nichols hosts some of his artwork at http://autaux.deviantart.com/. As for the particular arguments offered, they fall into "other stuff exists", not normally considered convincing enough to escape deletion. Articles are judged on their own merits, not on the existence of other articles. Hairhorn (talk) 06:14, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes this article is autobiographical and i am Adam aka autaux. I wrote this article believing people who were interested in the titles Ive worked on may have a little insight into who makes their games and find more similar works/titles by that artist. Usually all people get is the promotional jargon under each of the existing articles on wiki and Im hoping to give them a little more then that. Concept art is a relatively popular field and there is currently little to no info on these artists online.autaux (talk) 04:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTWEBHOST going away. The subject of the article amply edited in sources, but they're all to his own websites, to blogs or to indexes of names of those working on various video games. There are no reliable, independent, third-party sources substantively about the subject, as WP:RS and WP:BIO hold, and we have admitted WP:COI issues. I'd suggest to the writer that his goal of providing a venue for people to find out about him would be better served by creating his own webpage, but he's already done that. I do recommend he review WP:PILLAR for a handle on our article procedure and policies. Ravenswing 09:50, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ive chosen to withdraw my article from this site as I fail to see this site upholding these WP:PILLAR and clearly don't really care to justify when its easier to just delete and move on. Autaux 10:00, 19 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.12.116 (talk) [reply]
