The Resistance of Calvin Hobbs, Richard Barnstrom[edit]

I call bluff on this one — an unpublished novel that doesn't Google, by an author who doesn't Google, with the rights lost in a fire, and a title suspiciously similar to a popular long-running comic strip. I'd be quite happy to be proved wrong with actual references, but I won't hold my breath. — sjorford (talk) 17:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sjorford seems correct about this one. Dick Clark 19:49, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Barnstrom Does not Google. Does not appear in an author search in Georgetown University Library. Appears to be fictitious author of fictitious book The Resistance of Calvin Hobbs which is up for deletion Fightindaman 20:18, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete what appears to be a fairly elaborate hoax. Absolutely zero Google hits is implausible, and the final para is not a convinving explanation. Merged two debates as clearly linked. - Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 20:29, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
