[edit] Voy Sobon

Voy Sobon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Although this article says this poet is very notable, the off-wiki statistics do not seem to corroborate this. For example, his book Bad Words Dictionary: And Even Worse Expressions is said to be a "cult book worldwide" that sold "millions of copies," there are no reviews of it online as returned by Google. [1] and a search for "Voy Sobon Genet" returns 19 hits, none of which are relevant. [2] It appears someone is trying to promote a non-notable individual; the same person apparently wrote a corresponding article on the Polish Wikipedia. Resurgent insurgent 02:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Copied from talk page: The book Bad Words Dictionary was sold originally for $7.95. Today is reaching over $100 a copy on amazon.ca, amazon.co.jp Is it not a cult following among book readers? Look carefully for reviews when you tipe Voy Sobon in a search engine. (Yoshiwaka 02:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC))

  • Delete: Amazon sales rank of 1.4million. Article therefore blatantly untrue on at least one point. No sources, promotional, nn. AndyJones 18:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
