[edit] The Caged Fran

The Caged Fran (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Prod was removed by an anonymous user without comment. I suspect that this article is a hoax. A google search returns 0 results. The supposed author does exist, however, a quick perusal of his books finds no mention of The Caged Fran. Also, the article reveals the plotline of the book even though the book won't be released for another month, which makes me suspect that the author of this article made it up.

  • Delete: A search on the Internet gives zero hits for this book title. Further, a search on http://www.jimbenton.com and Amazon revealed that there is a new book by Jim Benton that is supposed to be released in March, 2008 not February and that the new book's title is "Never Underestimate Your Dumbness" not "The Caged Fran".

  • Delete as probable hoax. Even if it isn't a hoax, it would be deleted as crystal-balling. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:HOAX. Zero ghits is also very damning. Doc Strange (talk) 20:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
