The Zachary R. Smith Library


Contested prod (by a group of single purpose accounts, as was the creator, but anyway...). Completely unverifiable, no Google hits, WP:COI concerns, and utterly unremarkable. Someone ha a few hundred books and lets other people browse them and take them home for a few weeks. This wiaas great news around 1600, but is quite commonplace nowadays. Main delete reason: WP:V concerns Fram 06:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC) -ECH3LON 15:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 300 books? I think I own more than that, and I'm no library!  Delete, and this might have been speedible as NN.  --humblefool&reg; 06:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Fairly obvious hoax. What I get from the article is that Zachary Smith lets his friends borrow his books and has borrowed books from other people.  The recent relocation to "Suite 3" means he has recently moved out of a house (possibly his parents') and into an apartment.  JChap2007 06:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - If you buy that it's a library then it's utterly non-notable. If not, then it's a hoax. Either way, a violation of WP:VAIN/WP:COI. --Daniel Olsen 07:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - as per nom. A whole 300? Non notable vanity piece.Xdenizen 07:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. yandman  08:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I suspect that JChap2007 has described the situation accurately. --Metropolitan90 08:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and JChap2007. Got a chuckle out of it, though. Shimeru 09:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete from Orbit as above. OBM | blah blah blah 09:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Zero ghits, thus being unverifiable. MER-C 10:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete due to verifiability concerns, also does not appear to be provably significant (existence is insufficient). Guy 11:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per the article: "...close to three hundred works of literature..." they forgot to add that someday he plans on filling up the rest of the bookcase too. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete for being obvious WP:Complete Bollocks. Eddie.willers 12:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no way to verify, is non notable, and is very obviously a candidate for deletion
 * Delete, non-notable and unverifiable. --Ter e nce Ong (C 15:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Would this be Dr. Zachary Reluctantstowaway Smith, who costarred in Lost in Space? Edison 16:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I looked up the addresses on Google Maps. Both appeared to be residences a short walk from the local University.  He moved from one bit of off campus student housing to another.  Clearly non notable, vanity cruft.  Talk page is filled with unsigned support without any references.  Dimitrii 17:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non-verifiable. Kavadi carrier 17:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious joke. I've had more books STOLEN than he owns. --Calton | Talk 06:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete -- priate library not open to public loaning; no claim of notability -- Simon Cursitor 08:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable, and probably a hoax article. A BJAODN-worthy candidate! --SunStar Net 23:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
