491:- the citations mentioned by Phil Bridger have now been added to the Buster Gonad article, together with additional information. The reason those citations weren't added earlier was because the article was little more than a stub. Look at the history section and you'll see that it only had any significant detail added in November 2007, when I started editing it. If the article had been allowed to grow for a few more months then it's likely that more references would have been added in the future. Incidentally, I also seem to remember that during the
548:. You can't continue to use the argument of "allowing it to grow". Yes, a stub should be given an opportunity to do so, but if there is no notability shown from the very start, it's going to be very hard to justify its inclusion. I did a Google Search (both web and news) before I nominated it, and I was unable to find any verifiable sources within the first 3-4 pages of search results (there were no results at all for the news search). I would recommend you start going through the other
348:. One of the most well known of all the Viz characters. In fact possibly the most famous Viz character. More notable than the vast majority of the many other Viz characters with an article. I will even add references establishing notability myself if it isnt deleted. He has appeared in Viz hundreds of times. As for him not being verifiable, have you even googled him?
236:
Some have more detail than others, but (as with any
Knowledge article) each can have extra detail added in future, so long as it's not deleted. Let's face it, every Knowledge article has to start somewhere. The current 'Buster Gonad' article represents a foundation on which others can build, so I'm

I've been making the same mistake, useful to know, so more thanks. It doesn't change my vote, though, I still think (as a Viz reader) that the cultural impact is from the comic as whole, rather than individual characters. I recognise I am going to be in a minority of one on this though!
569:. When you do a Google news search you only get by default entries for the last month. If you click on "all dates" on the left it searches the whole archive. That's how I got the first five of my refs. The BMJ one came from Google Scholar and the Eminem biography from Google Books.
232:. Admittably, it's a stub at present. On the other hand, people can add extra detail in future. If the article is deleted then that's simply not possible and it will have to be created all over again. There are lots of other articles re. Viz comic strips:-
447:- this argument by far has the most weight of any of the previous ones. Had these sources been cited in the article, I would probably have never put it up for AFD. However, even these articles are pushing the cusp of "if they have received
