Hide in the Storm[edit]

This appears to be a completely spurious/hoax article. I can't find any evidence that there is any such series of novels, or, for any of the titles that are unique enough to search for, that the individual books exist, and no author is credited in the article. Two other articles by this original editor were speedily deleted recently. ShelfSkewed Talk 15:03, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete. Google shows nothing about "Hide in the Storm" (other than the Wikipedia entry). Notability most likely cannot be proven. Nothing links to this article, either. Hazillow (talk) 15:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Further comment. I am sad that it took so long for us to find this hoax. Hazillow (talk) 15:43, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An article about a book of fiction should at least include the author's name. And the article makes it sound like some of the books haven't been written yet, so how notable / verifiable can they be? Dan Beale-Cocks 15:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It certainly seems like a hoax and it doesn't look like it's been updated since 2006, which suggests that it is not a real article. Thanks, George D. Watson (Dendodge).Talk^{Help and assistance} 15:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Absolutely nothing behind this whatsoever, and I agree, it annoys me that this hoax existed this long. WP:SNOW anyone? Xymmax (talk) 15:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can find no evidence these books exist. (Though to be fair, DanBealeCocks, we knew that Harry Potter would end with his seventh year of school long before that book came out -- though it would have been a better hoax if the final year had been written as a future intention.) —Quasirandom (talk) 17:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The redlink for the first book in the series gives a publication date of 1999 but also says "not yet written." This is total nonsense. StudierMalMarburg (talk) 17:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to be a hoax & even if it's not there not indication of notability. Edward321 (talk) 05:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
