Unable to find anything on Google that this publisher exists. The editor who created this article also created Golden Fox which I will also be AfD'ing as having no evidence of existing. Green Cardamom (talk) 19:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Further notes:
- More evidence of a bogus article: Sentences have been copied and pasted from other Wikipedia articles with key words changed. For example
- "The early Pelhams were somewhat similar in appearance to the existing paperbacks of Pocket Books"
- Compare that with this sentence from Avon (publishers):
- "The early Avons were somewhat similar in appearance to the existing paperbacks of Pocket Books"
- There are other examples like this. Green Cardamom (talk) 19:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
