[edit] Cyber Quest

A science-fiction book series that has somehow entirely escaped the attention of Amazon -- and Google. The various components have been speedily deleted/redirected as soon as they've cropped up, but absent any evidence of its very existence, it's time for this one to go, too.

• Delete ... assuming good faith that this might be a self-published thing or something like that, I tried googling "HML Inc" (the purported publishing company) and I couldn't find them. So I guess hoax it is. BigDT 04:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, per BigDT. Without reliable references it as to be treated as a hoax. - Motor (talk) 11:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment When I first encountered this article, I attempted to verify it and I believed it was the series of books by Sigmund Brouwer, which can be found on Amazon. The Wikipedia article for this author also mentions CyberQuest. However, upon revisiting this, I see that there are inconsistencies in the publisher's name and the books' characters. I've left a message on the contributor's talk page asking for the names of the books, and I will reserve my vote pending his or her response. Accurizer 13:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete since the contributor saw my questions noted above but did not respond. He/she added to the article but did not provide the names of these supposed books. Accurizer 11:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This article isn't about the Sigmund Brouwer christian sci-fi series, but something unrelated and likely unverifiable. No real publisher would release books titled so similarly to an existing series (and same genre too!). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think my biggest issue is the way the articles were first put here--they took a form such that I wanted to db-bio them, until someone pointed out the word starship to me! I mean, besdies the already noted problems, I'm liable to think of this as possible vanity. Probable, even, having been a vanity editor myself back when. Niki Whimbrel 18:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with extreme prejudice This is pure spam, the user HMLINC (talk • contribs) tries to use Wikipedia to market himself and/or his company, named HML Inc. /Magore 04:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
• That user was blocked indefinitely as a "vandalism-only account". Seems like an odd block to me... But anyway, delete as unverifiable vanity. Grandmasterka 05:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
