The result was KEEP (no consensus). With this few comments I would normally relist, but it has been listed on two deletion noticeboards so there is no reason to believe a relisting will obtain more information. TigerShark (talk) 22:24, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Andrew Lewis did start Zarjaz which has gone on to be one of the breeding grounds for new talent (given the collapse of the British comics industry this is one of the highest profile publications for creators looking to eventually get into 2000 AD, in fact Simon Spurrier started in Zarjaz, is still writing for 2000 AD and is now getting some work at Marvel) and it did win an award (and nominated for a second), which certainly helps his case. While at Zarjaz he was also the recipient of a letter by Pat Mills. He also did start Top Notch Tosh. Both of these are reviewed at Bugpowder, the leading site for the British small press [1] [2]. He has also written for 2000 AD but I can't currently prove that online as 2000 AD have just revamped their site and not put back the issues database. I haven't heard of his other endeavours and can't prove them despite Googling. So while it looks a bit shaky at the moment I think it should be possible to knock it into better shape and starting the award-winning comic and pro comic work should at least be a start and if we can find sources for radio appearances and the like it would start shaping up. So it is worth giving it some time to shape up and then return to it and see how things stand. (Emperor (talk) 14:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]
