AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nonexistent book, unsourced article. Prior AfD in 2006 was keep, but the announced publication date (contained at the end of the 8th Captain Underpants book) has come and gone, and there is no evidence from either author or publisher's website that this book is under development, let alone scheduled for publication anytime soon.

 * More info For the record... this book is the proposed ninth book in the Captain Underpants series; and is referenced (including the aforementioned title) on the final (teaser) page of the series' 8th book. However, apart from this mention, there is no evidence that this book is under development, let alone nearing print.  It is mentioned nowhere on the publisher's website or the author's.  The original AFD three years ago appears to have been withdrawn because the user was unaware of the teaser in the 8th book; but at this point, three years later, there is still no sign of this book, and WP:BALL starts to apply.  Certainly, there is no justification for the (unsourced) elaborate plot outline given in the article.--EngineerScotty (talk) 21:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. There's a good chance this book will be coming out, but all the Google hits I found are just people asking when that will be. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 22:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. No prejudice against re-creation if it should come out, but any statement that it was supposed to come out in May of 2009 is now suspect and no longer reliable, causing it to fail WP:V. Ray  Talk 23:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - article may be recreated if publication actually occurs. Lady  of  Shalott  04:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
