[edit] Arthur Wyatt (comics)

Non-notable writer. With the exception of some very short comicstrips (5 pages each) everything listed here has been published in a fanzine form only. ScottNestle 05:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable. —Centrx→talk 21:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - he's not in the major league, but he's a published author. - Richardcavell 00:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep published writer on multiple occasions with the UK's only major comic book.Vizjim 22:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am not impressed by the "published author" argument, since anyone can become a published author, but I do think he's generated enough of a body of published work to merit notability. Tychocat 07:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I initially failed to see the difference between a fanzine and professional publication. My point about anyone being able to become a published author remains. Tychocat 08:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• keep His career is embryonic, but professional nonetheless. Aside from being published in professional British publications (not an easy task given the compressed nature of the British comics industry at present), he has been so repeatedly, some instances of which are actually noted on this WP article.
• Keep He is not just prolofic in the small press (writing, editting and publishing) but 2000 AD saw fit to showcase his work in the 2000 AD Winter Special which was dedicated to highlight the talent of the next generation of writers for the magazine (having previously been published in 2000 AD). So even if you don't wish to count the small press as being notable (despite its importance to 2000 AD which is in turn important to the US comic industry) he is actually a professional comic writer which is notable.

• Delete not (yet) notable. Does not seems to meet WP:BIO. Eluchil404 01:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: It might be worth people checking out this. ScottNestle is Artw who is Arthur Wyatt (comics) (Emperor 15:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC))
• Keep When you're a British comic writer, getting into 2000 AD is one of the most notable things you can do. Needs expansion though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above, although I am somewhat concerned that the way Wyatt is employing sockpuppets will eventually become problematic. Yamaguchi先生 20:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
