[edit] Tom Riley

I suspect this article is a hoax because I can't find anything about his participation in the Boer Wars or his medals. However, he died eight years before he was born, which, if true, is extremely notable. -- Kjkolb 05:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Hmmm. I suspect the article is a hoax because the Boer War finished in 1902 and he was supposedly born in 1932 eight years after his death in 1924. Delete. Capitalistroadster 05:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy as A7. Take out the war he didn't participate in because it happened before he was born and the fact he was stabbed to death before he was born (which would be notable if it wasn't a hoax) and you have a great A7 candidate!--Isotope23 20:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
