[edit] Mr. Grow

Mr. Grow (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod. Unreferenced article on a character in a popular series of books. The article is possibly supposed to refer to a book, although that is a tad unclear. However, there is no evidence provided or found to suggest that this character (or book) exists. For those unfamiliar with the Mr. Men series of books and cartoons, they are darn popular, so if this character existed, there would be mention of him on the Internet.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:

  • Comment: They seem to pretty clearly be book articles, rather than character articles. Agreed that sources are remarkably sparce, given the popularity of other books in the series; if WP:V can be met, though, WP:BK would be passed a clear kilometer. Will keep looking. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete This one sure looks like vandalism to me. The list of books is iterated in the main Mr. Men article. Even if not, it doesn't meet WP:BOOK -Verdatum (talk) 18:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Almost certainly a hoax. The user hasn't responded sensibly to inquiries about the article either. --Tombomp (talk) 18:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both as hoax, though you may be better off using a separate AfD for Leggy. Incidentally, I'm looking at the back of one of the Mr Men books, and there's no Mr Grow or Little Miss Leggy. Good Ol’factory (talk) 10:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both. Can't verify the existance of these books. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per others. Likely a hoax. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 02:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both of these per arguments already given. Qworty (talk) 20:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
