Pony School
Another non-notable fanzine. Faint whiff of self promotion. ScottNestle 06:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

On a completely unrelated note, it should also be noted that 'Scott Nestle' is a notorious serial troll who has been banned from the 2 main official and unofficial 2000ad fansites on the internet (the creators of the book this article describes are contributors to the same websites), and has been banned repeatedly, under several usernames, from both. Going to either website (2000adonline and 2000adreview) and typing the name Scott Nestle (or his original username on both websites - 'Scojo') should easily verify this. This has the faint whiff of the slightly stalker-esque behaviour where he made a nuisance of himself to professional writers and artists on the forums where he was banned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.171.123 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Pretty neat article and the faint whiff is dispelled by the addition of the not very flattering review. But the company website is a blogspot site?!? ~ trialsanderrors 16:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. —Centrx→talk 03:14, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * keep The book was one of several small press books to attempt American-format storytelling, as opposed to the traditional anthology-based magazine-format typified by the Eagle and 2000ad (listed as influences in the article), and both contributors have extensive credits with many notable small press and indie books and magazines (between them, they have appeared in the Judge Dredd Megazine, Fortean Times, FutureQuake, The End Is Nigh and MangaQuake among others). The book was also featured prominantly in a Redeye review, and featured in Comics International.


 * No, I'm not "that" Scott Nestel. And I realise that some of the deletion nominations I've just made may be a little controversial with a small clique of people who've invested quite some time in them (checking your contributions shows you to be one of them, as well as showing some "comedy"" contributions to The Losers and Matt Timson which are a little questionable). However the truth remains: I beleive them to be non-notable, so much so that they should be deleted. ScottNestle 20:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Tychocat 08:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Apologies - I didn't realise you were the 'other' Scott Nestle involved with the online 2000ad fan community. As you say, it's a small clique of people... However, small cliques of people are the only group that can be relied upon to write articles about subjects outside mainstream appeal - otherwise we wouldn't have Wikis on Star Trek's made-up science of Warp Field Theory, and it's a small clique which can actually write the Wiki on Quantum Theory, I'll wager. It was the somewhat 'focused' nature of the the group of your nominations which confused me. I'll put my hands up to the comedy vandalism, though.
