This page should not be speedily deleted because Donny Cates has now been the sole writer of two company-wide event comics at Marvel, including King in Black, the one still being released as of this page's creation. He is also the co-creator of Marvel characters Knull and Cosmic Ghost Rider, both of whom have their own Wikipedia pages. He's also written a best-selling Image Comics series, Crossover, as well as the current run on Thor, one of the most popular Marvel characters. After nearly a decade in comics, Cates has proved that he's only going to gain more notoriety as he continues to create critical and commercial successes in the superhero and indie comic communities. It could be argued that Chip Zdarsky has enjoyed mainstream success in the comic industry for the same amount of time as Donny Cates, and that page is never brought up for speedy deletion. Please let me know if you have any further qualms with this page's existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tj902 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Tj902:, the reason this page is nominated for speedy deletion is because it was recreated after a deletion discussion. You would need to go to WP:DRV to challenge the results. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 20:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
From 35:02 to 36:51 of this video, https://www.youtube.com/live/aAB7qvgKT6Q?feature=share, it was mentioned that Donny went through a horrible car accident that left him severely injured and also gave him amnesia (where he couldn’t remember the last six months of his life) and that him and Megan Hutchinson were divorced, hence why he had stepped back from all of his books. I’m leaving this here because I’m asking for additional input on how to implement this information into the article. FilmLover72 (talk) 01:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
