Hardly found anything about this person and his works that would have this article sustained in Wikipedia. This is the only source I can find, which includes a mention. TheGGoose (talk) 05:18, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If this isn't a hoax, this is the best kept pulp fiction gem of all time. (Well, ok, I know a few others). I can't find any evidence of his existence, doing searches only on his last name since his first name seems to vary from Henry to Hank and more. No evidence of his books in libraries or bookstores. No evidence of his Hollywood work in IMDB. I really hope that someone hits the jackpot and finds the hidden cache of information that will bring this person to light. Until then...

Delete and I almost feel this almost qualified for speedy as my searches found nothing good at all and mostly simply mirrors. Pinging tagger I dream of horses for comment. SwisterTwister talk 05:41, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Google brings up nothing useable, like LaMona even searching using the surname only reveals nil worldcat library holdings[1]. With his apparent prodigious output ("For the next 3 decades he would write 3 to 4 novels a year.") i would expect something to appear at least on bookseller/auction sites but even searching these proved fruitless (probably because of small print runs his books are rare and highly collectable). ps. what is the "1947 booker award"?Coolabahapple (talk) 17:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete pretty funny, actually. But, delete, since it is a hoax and all.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
