Article needs mainstream references. Personally I would think the author is more significant than one of his series. Problem is, Wikipedians - esp. the draconic delete delete delete types, are very enamoured of print media and "mainstream" references. The man and his works inhabit a purely internet/geek domain which won't show up much in the NY Times or academic research printed books. Pär Larsson (talk) 18:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
