Voy Sobon

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Although this article says this poet is very notable, the off-wiki statistics do not seem to corroborate this. For example, his book Bad Words Dictionary: And Even Worse Expressions is said to be a "cult book worldwide" that sold "millions of copies," there are no reviews of it online as returned by Google. and a search for "Voy Sobon Genet" returns 19 hits, none of which are relevant. It appears someone is trying to promote a non-notable individual; the same person apparently wrote a corresponding article on the Polish Wikipedia. Resurgent insurgent 02:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Copied from talk page: The book Bad Words Dictionary was sold originally for $7.95. Today is reaching over $100 a copy on amazon.ca, amazon.co.jp  Is it not a cult following among book readers?  Look carefully for reviews when you tipe Voy Sobon in a search engine.  (Yoshiwaka 02:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC))

 * Delete: Amazon sales rank of 1.4million. Article therefore blatantly untrue on at least one point. No sources, promotional, nn. AndyJones 18:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
