Unnotable non-existent book that is supposedly "rumored" to exist, but no actual reliable sources confirm. Prodded twice. First prod stated "no sources" and was removed by the article creator who added a link that doesn't source anything.[1][2] The second stated "WP:CBALL Wikipedia is not a repository for what might, could, or is rumored to happen" and was removed by my because of the previous prod.[3] Was also CSDed for lack of context but found to have enough. Non-existent book fails WP:V, WP:N, and WP:CRYSTAL. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete  Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The CSD decline was by a nonadmin, and had its own issues, see my talkpage. Either way, per my PROD, Wikipedia is not for something that has not yet materialized.--Terrillja _talk 19:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  The removal of the tag may have been in bad faith, but it seems totally correct. From what I can see, the article clearly established context. decltype (talk) 02:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per Skier Dude. Even if the author is very well-known, they can't be the only source for an article, so it shouldn't have its own article, but since it can be referenced, it's appropriate in the overall series article. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:13, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete "rumored?" Really. Delete. No reliable sources. Period.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
