[edit] Merge Request

This 'denys cavendish' article can safely take the prize for the most completely incorrect article on Wikipedia!! Bob Tuck was not shot down in 1940, was not executed in 1944, and was not even in Sagan at the time of the Great Escape. I respectfully suggest the link is denied and the article deleted. Harryurz 10:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

DO NOT MERGE - as user Harryurz, Denys Cavendish appears to be a work of fiction and no connection with Robert Standford Tuck. MilborneOne 21:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree - the Denys Cavendish article is utter fiction - DO NOT MERGE. Stanford Tuck was not captured with Roger Bushell in 1940 - he was shot down in N France in January 1942. Whilst he was initially a prisoner in Stalag Luft III, he was transferred before the "Great Escape" and there is no evidence that he was responsible for preventing the escape of the full "250" prisoners. This is complete bunkum and should be removed immediately. The badly written and fictional Denys Cavedush article should be removed from Wikipedia with immediate effect.

Completely agree with all of the above. There's no evidence that the Cavendish character in the 'The Great Escape' was anything more than an amalgalm of other people, and it's a matter of record that Stanford Tuck was not in Sagan at the time of the Great Escape breakout and that he later escaped and survived the war.

How bizarre! Oppose Merge for all the above reasons and more, there was no Denys Cavendish other than a fictional character. How do you go about the process of deleting (AfD) the Denys Cavendish article entirely? FWIW Bzuk 18:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC).

I am Marxus the writer of Denys Cavendish and I got it from the movie The Great Escape. The movie is based on a true story so I thought he was true. I did nto know I sware I did not know. If I made a mistake delete the article or merge it with Robert Stanford Tuck. Im sorry you can delete that article or merge it. Im am the writer of it and some of the articles I write I don't know are fact or fiction. Im really sorry I try to make sure my articles are the truth and I mostly write truthful articles on biographies and history just please forgive me. - user Marxus

I have another message I dont know wether to merge it or delete but just please do something I dont want to get into trouble and I dont care if you merge it or not or delete it but please I would love to forget this trouble so i dont care what you do with the article Denys Cavendish - user Marxus

Since a reasonable amount of time has transpired since the request for merger was posted and based on the overwhelming response in opposition to the merge, I am deleting the tag. FWIW Bzuk 16:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC).

Family legend has it that Tuck was, for a time, based at RAF Pembrey and lived in Pembrey. Can anyone confirm or finally dispel this idea? Pete 23:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
