Henry Potty and the Pet Rock

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This was "published" last year by WingSpan Press. According to their website, WingSpan offers a variety of self-publishing options. No references for the article (other than the page's official website). Zero notability. I have some WP:COI concerns as well. janejellyroll 21:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak KeepIt gets 15,800 Google hits exclusive of Wikipedia and its mirrors. The book is in the top 85,000 titles sold on Amazon.com, somewhat higher in sales (but lower in Google hits) than a similar parody "Bored of the Rings" which also has an article in Wikipedia. I would like to see published reviews in addition to the numerous highly favorable fansite reviews. Edison 23:37, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
