Deletion of Comics and Sequential Art

Comment: The present article is fairly ghastly, but I am left wondering about the quality of the nominator's . The book was apparently not aimed at the academic market, but a GScholar search on the book's author shows over 600 citations of the book, and apparently an additional 400 of a Portuguese translation - I find the book's notability effectively undeniable. Though if the article is not improved during the course of this AfD, I would have no objection to stubbing the article back to its first and third paragraphs and the infobox (and not very much to redirecting it to the author) pending re-expansion into a properly sourced article concentrating on its influence
