Comment: I am not sure how much some of the people voting to keep are using the helpful search options at the top of this page, so I'll summarize a couple of things. When looking for |reliable econdary sources|secondary sources, usually the best place to look first is the newspapers. There, I am finding http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/#/%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22/ nothing for NYT, https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22+site:news.google.com/newspapers&source=newspapers nothing under the newspaper search, https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22&tbm=nws#q=%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22&tbm=nws&start=0 while I find sources under "news", they are not mainstream news - that tells me that he has a great following in the comic book world, but is not meeting  requirements for notability because he's not hitting mainstream press at all from what I can tell, but definitely not with significant coverage. There are https://www.highbeam.com/Search?searchTerm=%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22 three items in HighBeam, but they are passing mentions, and not a comprehensive article about him and his career which occurs with people that are notable from an encyclopedic standpoint. In the https://cse.google.com/cse?hl=en&cx=007734830908295939403:galkqgoksq0&cof=FORID:13%3BAH:left%3BCX:Wikipedia%2520Reference%2520Search&q=%22Joseph+Michael+Linsner%22#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=%22Joseph%20Michael%20Linsner%22&gsc.page=1 custom google search, once you look for mainstream news sources + consider the use of |independent sources, there is one article from CNN that pops up, again a passing mention

Comment: As written, with next to no sources (and I cannot find any), fails .  Obviously you have not looked very carefully for substantial work. Just being an artist, drawing some comics (or writing a few books) is not enough to be in an encyclopedia.  I find it amazing that someone's career is not worthy especially one being a game changer

Comment: My first impulse was to nominate this article for deletion, too, but Linsner seems to be higher profile than I thought.  For example, his work has been reviewed several times at IGN: http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/04/30/angry-christ-comix-tpb, http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/22/comic-book-reviews-for-september-21-2016, http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/03/31/dawn-volumes-1-2-review.  {{re|Acax72}} we need coverage by professional journalists in |reliable sources.  For example, a profile in the ''Los Angeles Times'' or ''The Comics Journal''.  We need a professional journalist to stand up and say, "Hey, this guy is important.  Pay attention to him."  Good places to look for stuff like that are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/References
