[edit] Tyler Harlan

Unverifiable, probably a hoax. Also see Elks on the Up and Up. Delete. Dvyost 02:36, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Why would someone bother to make such a lame hoax? Devotchka 02:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable. (And Devotchka, that's a good question. Ask one of those people who constantly engage in lame hoaxes like this...) -- Captain Disdain 08:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and BJAODN. BTW shouldn't this be a CSD.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 08:24, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Not necessarily. I'm all for speedying stuff that needs to be speedied, but if you're not sure that something is a hoax or non-notable, I think it's definitely better to go to AfD, because if the topic is notable, that way there's a far better chance of someone coming up with the important reference or whatnot. I tag a lot of stuff for speedy deletion under A7, but if I'd run across this one, I'd have gone to AfD myself. -- Captain Disdain 09:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, CSD G1 explicitly says that hoaxes can't be speedied. So AfD it is... --Dvyost 19:54, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as likely hoax; non verifiable. Hall Monitor 19:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  • As I noted on the book's AFD page, an author whose bio says he died in 1952 unequivocally did not write a book about anything in Nunavut, which didn't even exist until 1999. Delete hoax. Bearcat 05:16, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete hoax, as per Bearcat. Luigizanasi 05:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per hoax arguments. --maclean25 00:41, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
