[edit] Steven Cooney

Appears to be a hoax, but the claim this individual has received a Victoria Cross seems to be a claim of notability. The fact that he would have not reached his 16^th birthday at the time of the award combined with a lack of positive hits during a web search leads to the belief that this is most likely a fictional article. Delete as per WP:V unless reliable sources are provided to verify the article's claims. --Allen3 ^talk 13:55, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Surely this would be in the news, fifteen year old security guard at Heathrow shot to death by illegal immigrants. Ruby 14:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Just delete it. --Terence Ong 14:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete- obvious falsehoods Astrotrain 14:17, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete- as per Ruby (although "Steven" could have been patrolling the Channel Tunnel when he met his terrible and completely unreported fate). Obviously a hoax. What does a "highly skilled immigration officer" do anyway? Apply the ink to the rubber stamps evenly? --Canley 14:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
