Epidemic (Novel)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The novel has not been published yet, and as far as we know may not be. So there is an element of crystalballing here. There is also a strong hint that this has been created by a SPA and is promotional. Also there is no evidacen of notability. Slatersteven (talk)


 * Delete. Searching Amazon.com and WorldCat, there is no evidence that this book exists. --Quartermaster (talk) 14:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I would add that his ealier screenplay (upon which this magnum opus is supposidly based) does not appear to have ever been made. So no reason to assume the book will ever be published.Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. There's some pretty strong evidence that User:TeensOfTheDownfall is William Kennedy -- TotD is a band which William Kennedy plays for. This, the overly detailed plot summary, and the lack of any publisher make this all look more like an unpublished fanfic than a novel. Zetawoof (&zeta;) 15:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Technically, you are incorrect - simply in the fact that fanfictions are based on another piece of already existing work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.102.172 (talk) 21:50, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
