[edit] Brian Mallon

Delete books subject is claimed to have written yield no relevant google results, non-notable Drdisque 04:12, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable biography. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-03 04:43Z
• Speedy delete as nn-bio. Book titles not in Amazon. Webcomic not anywhere either. Popular?? This was probably speedied before, because I have this in my watchlist. (Darn deletionhistory perm!) -- Perfecto 04:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Authors-related deletions. -- Rob 08:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: A person with a similiar name, seems to be in imdb, but probably isn't related (but if kept, maybe a disambig page should be made). Also I think "is the popular author of books such as" is a clear claim of notability, meaning A7-nn-bio is ruled out. A7 doesn't apply for disputed claims, but only for cases where no claim is made. BTW, the last speedy was for a 16-year old, not this person. --Rob 08:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, "is the popular author of books such as" is indeed a claim of notability, but a totally moot one if the existence of the books cannot be proven. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
    • It's a "moot" only for the "AFD", not the CSD:A7, where's its critical. This claim could well just be somebody's prank (the titles sound suspiscious), but there's been a consensus that we aught to give claims of notability their 5-days in the sun. Personally, I would love to see 100%-unsourced articles (like this and many others) deleted just like copyvio, without an AFD, but that's not happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thivierr (talk • contribs)
  • Is it a coincidence the last speedy is also an author of a story with "Liz" on its title? -- Perfecto 14:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You're probably right to be suspiscious. I think the big remaining question to be settled is whether this is written by Brian, Liz, or a mutual friend at school. There's is actually a comic called Adventures of Hickey though (printed in the U of C's Gauntlet), but I'm guessing that's not what's be referred to. --Rob 17:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
