  • Delete. I can find no relevant Google hits for this alleged author or her works or the alleged sources used other than Wikipedia and its mirrors. I suspect this article may be a hoax. Note, for example, the claim that as immigrants to the United States in 1912, the subject and her family were not allowed to live in New York City. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Also the following: The book is a fictional autobiography, the main character is called Susan Linkwater (often just referred to as Miss Linkwater) and is written as if a diary. Uh, in that case, the main character would more likely be referred to most of the time as "I", unless for some reason she was not on a first name basis with herself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. I can't even find evidence that the purported reference (An Encyclopedia of America's Forgotton Authors) exists. Pburka (talk) 19:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Speedly Delete: Try the National Library of Australia at http://catalogue.nla.gov.au or the New York Public Library. Even if the hoaxer had spelled "Forgotton" correctly that title does not exist, nor do any of the purported works or author. Creator then needs a block. T L Miles (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. No trace to be found of Smythe or Night of the Black Cat. -- Shunpiker (talk) 15:26, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete at the very least, nonnotable for sure. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
