Michael Powell (author)

Apparent hoax. No such name correlates to these claims. No evidence of "Squashed Frog Ltd" as company; no such reference in Vanity Fair; no documented connection to Element Children's Books, etc. For a purported bestselling author, it is surprising that a search of Amazon produces mostly books on the director Michael Powell.

 * Update Original author has responded to this AfD by blanking the page; blanking reverted pending outcome of this review.  P L E A T H E R talk 19:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No relevant listings on IMDb for either "Michael Bradley" or "Michael Powell" in the timeframe specified in the article. If this guy is a "bestsellng author", then what has he written? Author Toobes3 hasn't contributed to any other articles. Nothing is sourced, likely hoax. Caknuck 19:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete totally lacking sources to address hoax concerns. Pete.Hurd 20:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above hoax concerns. It's always odd when the apparently notable leave no trace on the internet. janejellyroll 21:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else. Acalamari 21:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
