No sources found for this and the refs provided cannot be verified. I believe this may be a hoax, or if not, the character is a non-notable one anyway. Athe Weatherman 19:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

if you bother to give a chance, you would see refs look on ebay for loads of books for a start —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gugnunc (talk • contribs) 20:01, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The previews at Google books show that this is not a hoax. Bobby Bear seems to have his own entry in this specialist encyclopedia, although only that small snippet is visible. He also has his own entry in this book. If you have an Amazon.com account, you can take a look at the page. Zagalejo^^^ 20:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep [1] Appears to be a real thing. Needs better refs but is surely notable. Gigs (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The cited references would confirm the subject is not a hoax. Warrah (talk) 22:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Agree that refs need improvement, but I think there is enough evidence to document notability. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 14:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
