*'''Speedy keep, speedy close.''' Nominator's failure to check the standard reference on the Hugo Awards [http://www.locusmag.com/SFAwards/Db/NomArt41.html#5484] is completely inexplicable, as is his failure to refer to the award's official site [http://www.thehugoawards.org/?s=Taral+Wayne]. Both of the sources are clearly identified and linked in the [[Hugo_Award_for_Best_Fan_Artist#External_links|Wikipedia article on the relevant award]], and indisputably verify the supposedly questionable claims.

Claims notability through multiple redlink awards and Hugo nominations. I have been unable to verify any of the Hugo award nominations, nor can I find any reliable secondary sources that discuss him or his work in any detail. Article was tagged for notability over a year ago, and has only 9 edits in the past two years. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 02:48, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- Speedy keep, speedy close. Nominator's failure to check the standard reference on the Hugo Awards [1] is completely inexplicable, as is his failure to refer to the award's official site [2]. Both of the sources are clearly identified and linked in the Wikipedia article on the relevant award, and indisputably verify the supposedly questionable claims.

- I still see absolutely no reliable sources beyond that. It's possible to be nominated for a major award and still fail WP:N, and the very low number of Google hits seems to point to an overall lack of notability.

- Keep I think the key is notability in his field, which he seems to have obtained. here's the citation for one of those awards: http://www.scifiinc.org/rotsler/2008-wayne/; the others are verifiable (I checked). he also seems to have illustrated a number of notable works.
