Possible hoax. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. On the balance of probability, a hoax. Note that the online databse for VC recipients only runs up to 1944, so that can't be checked. And the string "Proceedings - U.S. Naval Institute, Vol. 120, March 1994" can be found online (with exactly the same punctuation), but not the contents of the article. And so on. Codohu (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) is an editor (presumably Collin Husted) who's already received a final warning for adding unverified material in the past. This is just the next step. SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 00:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Update The article's citations are all cut-and-pasted from this page, punctuation and all. Anyone with access to the U.S. Army War College Library (or a comparable library) could confirm this as a good article or as a hoax. SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 21:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as a clear hoax. The SAS did not conduct this kind of operation during WW2 and there's no mention of this person on List of English Victoria Cross recipients or a Google search, which isn't likely if he did indeed win a VC (Britain's highest award for heroism). --Nick Dowling (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as obvious hoax. A 16-man unit "sabotaged roughly 200 airplane factories in Germany"? Rubbish. The author's previous final warning for adding unverified material was last year, but he should be given another now. JohnCD (talk) 19:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Seems like pure nonsense. Zenlax T C S 19:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - clear hoax. Not a VC recipient, no references found in google books or other searches. Debate (talk) 10:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete as an obvious hoax. No results referring to this person on Google Search, so this person most definitely is not a VC winner or any sort of a notable person. StarryWorld —Preceding comment was added at 21:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
