 * Delete. I'm not comfortable enough to call it a "blatant hoax" justifying speedy deletion, but my feeling is that it probably is a hoax. In any case, the article should be deleted because there does not appear to be any coverage of the subject in reliable sources (I've checked using a variety of search terms and functions) and he does not appear to meet WP:AUTH. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm pretty comfortable calling this a blatant hoax when WorldCat lists no author named John Holdsworthy.  Nothing plausible when you search for "Escape From Danger," either.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 21:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
