[edit] Not a Hoax

I have a message on my User talk:PaulinSaudi:talk page by the fellow who posted the hoax box. He has said he is willing to remove it. Could some neutral party do so?

As for a reference, it is mentioned in the groundbreaking (dare I say earth-shaking?) book Codeword Dictionary. (Where I found it for inclusion in that fine work, my notes to not indicate. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 07:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry that I called it a possible hoax, you seem to be a sincere and worthy editor. However, regardless of its appearance in your book, at the moment the only source for this article is, well, you. (Oddly, had this article been written by a third party, I might have been more willing to accept your book as a source...) Also, I find its importance a bit questionable. I still think the article should be removed, at least until further references are available. Brianyoumans (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I've found a source that confirms that this is not a hoax. Please note that the Google books link is a bit messed up, because they seem to have two books listed under the same ISBN. There's another book reference here. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
