Master Crook’s Crime Academy

Article about a series of unpublished books. Only one of the twelve has even got a title. Publication dates out to August 2012 are listed, but "may change dramatically as they have not been written yet." No source is cited. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball for this kind of speculation: see also WP:BK#Not yet published books: "Articles about books that are not yet published are strongly discouraged." At most this merits a mention in the author's article. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 20:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this is crystal ballery at its epitome. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 22:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I editied it a bit, making it filled with more complete fluid sentences rather than just random information, and cutting it down solely to stuff that has already happened. I guess I've done all I can the the information I had. If its still not good enough, then by all means, delete it.--Coin945 (talk) 10:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reliable source for the information I suggest you add a note of this forthcoming series to the author's article, and wait till there is more solid information for a separate article on the series. JohnCD (talk) 14:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

THe only two places I could find that included this series on the internet lie in these two sites. Are they good enough for mention on Terry Deary's site on Wikipedia? [1] [2]

Just quicly searching around now, I found worse sources but sources nonetheless at: [3][4][5][6][7][8]

If any of these sites make it any more worthwhile to include, then please notify me and I will. If not, then also notify me and I will wait until enough of the series has been released to make the article worthwhile. Thanks.--Coin945 (talk) 08:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think your references (1) and (2) are good enough to justify a reference in the Terry Deary article, but per WP:BK#Not yet published books I should wait till the first one is published to make an article about the new series. JohnCD (talk) 14:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll wait until the first of the books are released. Even though I've been editing Wikipedia for quite a while, there are a few things I'm still not quite sure about, and this is one of them. Thanks.--Coin945 (talk) 16:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
