I can't tell if this is a hoax or what. The website does not exist-it starts as a fictional character then as a living person??? Wgolf (talk) 23:24, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

-On a really odd note-on the new page feed it says: Created by Edwardlucas (talk | contribs) · 161 edits since 17 September 2014-article was created on September 16th! Yep somehow he registered AFTER this article was created? Wgolf (talk) 23:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Must be-that is odd either way. Wgolf (talk) 01:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Edward Lucas here. Blackett is a fictional character who will feature in my book on cybersecurity which is out next year. I have created his wikipedia page to illustrate the way in which reputation can be created and destroyed. I would be grateful if it were not deleted though I realise that this is a rather unusual case.... ˜˜˜˜ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edwardlucas (talk • contribs) 08:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Slamdunk Delete: A fictional character from an unpublished book? Certainly by now the editor has to have understood that subjects have to demonstrate notability per WP:N as a prerequisite for an article, and that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a sociology experiment. The book wouldn't be notable yet, never mind a character within it. Nha Trang 20:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd support a speedy delete - this looks like a sociology experiment. Metamagician3000 (talk) 06:46, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I can understand that -- I am sorry if I have breached Wikipedia rules. If you google him, he still exists! regards Edwardlucas (talk) 08:01, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
