[edit] Team Spygear

Team Spygear (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Mini-walled garden on what appears to be a non-existent series of books - not a single Ghit aside from a couple of mentions in blogs. Possible hoax; in any event appears unsourced and unsourceable. I am also nominating Team SpyGear (book) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) and Spy Gear Adventures (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Googling Spy Gear Adventures does bring up 79 Ghits so possibly more N than I gave credit for, but still don't see anything to warrant keeping — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. For the time being, Team Spygear should probably be merged into SpyGear Adventures, which is a noteworthy series of books, having been reviewed by School Library Journal and various discussions in Publisher's Weekly. Team SpyGear needs some cleanup (I originally rescued the book from speedy and made the viable stub that's there now for the time being), but it's on my list for attention. Also, I'd refrain from the term "walled garden" in this case - every new topic starts out small in these cases, especially if (what's likely) a younger person read the books and felt ambitious. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - I'd go with that and withdraw this nom. I confess that I read "9 May" in the edit history as "9 Mar" and thought it had been unimproved for two months. I agree it's inappropriate to delete an article that's less than 24 hours old — iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
