While the rest of the series is quite notable, I can't find any evidence this book was published. Not listed on the author's site, not listed at world cat, not listed at amazon. Lots of web sites asking when it will be published, but nothing saying it's seen the light of day.

Prod contested by IP editor who says the series is available. However, I still find no evidence that the individual book (the title of this article) is available. (And if no one else can find evidence it is, the book should probably be delinked from the series article.) Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  18:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I searched a wide variety of sources as well: AMICUS National Library Database, local library databases--indicating that it isn't in library circulation--, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, chapters.indigo.ca, Dav Pilkey's website, Scholastic.ca...I can't think of any other place to check for it. It looks to me like a rumored book. There's hype on WikiAnswers and a couple of blogs, but they just say it's "unreleased" or that the date's unknown (and a few of them look like they've just copied the list off of the Wikipedia page, which leads us nowhere). If a reliable source pops us in a few months then the article can easily be rebuilt, but right now it looks to be completely unverifiable. DreamHaze (talk) 02:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete A3 (no content). All of one line.  So tagged. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 02:28, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Naughty Night Crawlers from Neptune has been speedily deleted per A3. However, I was unaware of the second article that was present in the middle of the article. That is not speedyable, so I am reopening the AFD at this point to gauge a consensus on Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Unpleasant Penguins from Pluto. MuZemike 15:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, good catch. Tagged that one A3.  Let's see what happens. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 22:36, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I've declined the A3 speedy. There surely is content there. You're going to need to get a better consensus as to whether or not that article should be deleted outside the speedy deletion criteria, I'm afraid. MuZemike 22:41, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 20:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
