The result was Delete per WP:SNOW - this is an obvious hoax. I note that the account which created the article has been blocked as a sockpuppet account. Nick-D (talk) 07:51, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Fails WP:SOLDIER The references given make no mention of him. The link http://www.454-459squadrons.org.au/454members/murrayc.html is for a guy who served in WW2, not the person in the article Gbawden (talk) 07:17, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as a likely hoax. In addition to all the other fishy stuff, the article claims he joined the RAAF in 2008 and saw six months of combat in Afghanistan and Iran (?) after completing his studies. However, McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet in Australian service states "the only combat deployment of the RAAF's Hornets was as part of the Australian contribution to the 2003 invasion of Iraq." Military history of Australia doesn't mention any other fighter deployments. Also, after pilot training, he couldn't have had time to amass a lot of experience/seniority, yet somehow he became a wing commander? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete as a hoax. IF any of it is true/verifiable it in any case falls foul of the prohibition against resumés. Roger (talk) 11:39, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - if not a hoax (I doubt that this is the alleged subject), clearly fails WP:BIO. ukexpat (talk) 16:28, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete It's impossible to source any of that information. I originally endorsed a BLP PROD on that article, which was removed by the creator, and I then reached out to him on his talk page asking for more substantial sources than a twitter account or the website of the RAAF. No response. This is essentially an unsourced BLP at this point, assuming it's not a hoax, and since it's impossible to determine the existence of this person, it's also impossible to determine if he meets WP:SOLDIER or WP:BIO. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
