[edit] Colonel Benjamin Donovan

(also nominating redirect Colonel Benjamin Donavan)

Nomination for Deletion Probable hoax by User:Princetonhistorian who allegedly created articles in attempting to show that Wikipedia is unreliable. Military Cross winners are officially announced in the London Gazette. No hits for this name in the Gazette archive[1]. No hits in Factiva database (i.e. no mention in the The Times records of honours.)
