with no evidence whatsoever. Also claims to be a disambiguation page. --Phil | Talk 08:37, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)J. K. Rowling copied J. R. R. Tolkien's book, The Lord of the Rings, for her series, Harry Potter.
Delete: Loose talk
- Speedy delete Slander and misleading title. Copying would've resulted in a book about Frodo Baggins. Accusations of plagiarism (if author intended that by saying copying), if noteworthy should be at J. K. Rowling. Real article about similarities would be welcome, as several fan columns have proven they do exist. Mgm|(talk) 10:07, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete For obviously silly stuff like this we should be using the 'nonsense' tag rather than 'vfd'. --Lee Hunter 11:37, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, what Mgm said. Note that it's not patent nonsense, so {{nonsense}} is inappropriate. —Korath (Talk) 15:41, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as pointless. I might have agreed to an NPOV revision or merging with the two main articles if there was actually any content. 23skidoo 16:50, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and feel free to speedy. Kappa 17:31, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
