Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unremarkable book (fails WP:NOTABILITY). Created by single purpose account User:Fred1296 promoting Chris Rush (which is an obvious sockpuppet of blocked User:Tony159). Disputed prod. Not to be confused with documentary film "Milking The Rhino". Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - The book has an ISBN number so it meets the base criteria for notability but I can't find any coverage of the book whatsoever. If the nom thinks User:Fred1296 is a sockpuppet, this isn't the appropriate place to discuss it. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I would note that having an ISBN is a bare minimum threshold requirement (for books published since the ISBN came into common use) to even be considered for notability, but not a sign of notability in itself. It would be like saying that a football (soccer) player met the base criteria for notability because he has a jersey with a number on it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong merge with Chris Rush. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge' with Chris Rush. Not enough notability to merit its own article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 23:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 *  Delete  Changing to Merge, as explained below. Non-notable as above, any encyclopedic information from this article can be moved to the Chris Rush article, which is also pretty sparse. Dayewalker (talk) 04:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Daye. Isn't that an argument for a merge? ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess it could be taken as such, although there's only about a sentence worth of information in this article that's usable. The remaining information the creator keeps adding isn't encyclopedic. I'll change to merge, if that'll help speed this along. Dayewalker (talk) 05:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge Merge to Chris Rush. The guy and his book just aren't that notable. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 12:00, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
