Theed. has in the process accumulated enough edits to be able to write the same unsatisfactory material in mainspace, and has now done so. This is an artifact of our system for handling articles by new editors, and we need to find some way to prevent people from using this loophole.

I note the two books listed are self published, and neither is any significant number of libraries.

 * Delete per lack of WP:SIGCOV. One source cited is known for hoaxes, and another is published by a cult. Bearian (talk) 00:35, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
