Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: My Last Year Of Middle School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball: After doing a search, I can't find any source that says that this "planned" book is existent. Due to the lack of reliable sources saying that this book even is existent in the planning, merging into Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series) isn't plausible. Esquivalience t 03:03, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete as hoax. Was unable to find anything whatsoever about a 10th book in the series, and surely not with a title already. -War wizard90 (talk) 05:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - I have nothing on it either. HullIntegrity  \ talk / 12:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - Blatant hoax although declined the CSD G3 request I made yesterday. JMHamo (talk) 15:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I did, not because I think this is genuine ( it fails CRYSTAL if nothing else) but because an AFD allows wider input and is more enduring if passed. It is also possible that someone will come forward with verifiable evidence of this alleged book, and as the article is not offensive in any way there seemed no harm in allowing this couple of days for that to occur. But happy to discuss further if required. -- Euryalus (talk) 19:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as hoax. While there probably will be a tenth book, there is absolutely nothing out there to substantiate that this will be the title. This is actually pretty par for the course for this series, as whenever a new book is announced there will be a rush to come to Wikipedia or the fan wikis to submit their fake titles. There have been no announcements on any of the official websites or in the news, which is pretty telling since there's usually a big production over the title reveal- more so than most other book series. So in other words, while book 10 is not a hoax in and of itself, this title is a hoax. It's also one that we should probably get off of Wikipedia fairly quickly since other sites have quoted Wikipedia titles in the past, usually in a fairly detrimental tone since we're fairly slow to pick up on and delete the titles. It's gotten to the point where a lot of people in the DoaWK community don't really see us as that reliable of a source for new info because the articles for the new books are so prone to vandalism.

 * Another thing is that to my knowledge there has been no official plot summary for the book, nor is there really anything to truly back up that this is the last book. All we know so far is that there are plans for a tenth book in the series but we do not have any sort of teasers or other information to give any definitive information.

 * Per this official source the book cover and title will not be revealed until some time in April. Until then any and all titles and synopses should be considered a hoax. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
