Murder in Paradise (The Hardy Boys)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about an unpublished book, probable hoax, certainly unverifiable. It was input, more or less in its present form, on 3 Dec 2008 by who has only 5 edits, consisting of this article and insertion of the book in The Hardy Boys and Franklin W. Dixon. Over the last three days an IP inserted "excerpts" from the book, and two other IPs tried to blank the article with comments "There is no such book, so stop it!" and "Removed the untrue stuff."

Article cites no source and I can find no confirmation. Searches are complicated by the number of other books called "Murder in Paradise", but the only confirming references I have found are Wikipedia mirrors like MedLibrary.org. If the book is real, and if it gets published, it may become notable, but per Notability (books) it isn't yet. PROD removed by IP. JohnCD (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete How can it be notable or otherwise worthy of an article if you can't verify it? This series is significant enough that any one book is notable, but Wikipedia is not for things made up one day by Wikipedia editors.  Nyttend (talk) 03:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
