Harry Potter and the Toenail of Icklibõgg
I'm finishing an incomplete nomination by Wikipedian06, who put the afd1 template on the page but did not complete the other two steps of for nominating an article for deletion. Wikipedian06's edit summary for adding the template was as follows: "AFD - Not notable. Do a redirect or something -- this is not worth an article." Icarus 21:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into a new article. One possiblity would be "False names for Harry Potter books" or something similar.  However, I think it would be better to merge it with Unauthorized_Chinese_Harry_Potter_books (again, probably under a new article name, such as "Harry Potter pre-release fervor"...  Ok, I suck at creating names), comparing and contrasting how gullible anxious fans desperate for new installments were taken in by real but unofficial/fraudulent books in some cases and joke titles with no corrosponding books in other cases.  It would start out as a stub, to be sure, but I think that the effects of the fervor leading up to new releases (and frustration when they aren't released as quickly as some fans would desire) is enough of an international cultural phenomenon to deserve an article, especially seeing as bits and pieces of that proposed article already exist under at least these two separate stubs. --Icarus 21:47, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. --Tango 22:03, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per Tango. —porg es (talk) 22:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Prior speculation on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Completely unrelateable to the Chinese books since it's Rowling's joke, so it shouldn't be merged with those. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 23:01, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge into a section of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, it would seem fairer. Futher comment: In the Controversies section, I propose. --Francisco Valverde 00:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Of the two above suggestions for merge, I personally prefer CanadianCaesar's. It is, after all, something that happened before the release of the book, and I'm not aware of it causing any controversy.  (Also: I recognize that my suggestion for a "pre-release fervor" article is pretty out there.  I think that a good article could come out of it, at least in theory, but a merge like the two suggested by CanadianCaesar and Francisco Valverde would undoubtedly be much easier.) --Icarus 05:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer it to go to the Speculation article - I wasn't aware that aticle existed when I voted. --Tango 11:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect per reason above (non-notability). Thanks, Icarus; I will follow proper procedures next time. Wikipedian06 01:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
