Article is either a vanity piece about a non-notable individual or a hoax (probably the former). I can't uncover anything of significance about the subject and I understand that there's no such thing as a "Governor's prize" in this particular jurisdiction. 4 separate WP:SPA's have updated the article. —Moondyne 01:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - nothing in expected info sources (Libraries where copyright/publishing details would identify items that never hit any part of google - there are many local publications that are notable that dont hit google) to verify any of the claimed publications (that is the claimed english or italian publications) - I would be strongly for the pursuit/checkuser of the creator(s) - as the attempt at a hoax like this suggests a possible repeat offender - or an excellent example of a possible setup - the speedier it goes the better - there is nothing probable or possible about it - it is a hoax - google or no google SatuSuro 02:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Probable hoax. Non-notable, at any rate. Google Book Search for both author and book turn up nothing.--Sethacus 03:03, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I find it difficult to believe that the West Australian would do a book review on their page 2. —Moondyne 03:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Reply - they have not done so in the last ten years SatuSuro 03:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment The Western Australian review supposedly came out almost 13 years ago.--Sethacus 03:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. ——Moondyne 02:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment If this is a 'setup', as two above editors have said, shouldn't the author be warned/blocked?--Sethacus 15:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
