List of Filipino Victoria Cross recipients

 * – (View AfD) (View log)


 * Antoine melancholy edited a number of Victoria Cross-related articles to claim that a Filipino named Michael Juarez won the VC in Iraq in 2003, and created this article claiming the same. This is a blatant hoax. All the other articles have been reverted, but since even being total rubbish doesn't qualify an article for CSD, I bring this AFD here. For those who are not knowledgable about the VC, only two have been awarded since the Falklands War in 1982 - Johnson Beharry for action in Iraq in 2004, and Bryan Budd for action in Afghanistan in 2006. -- Arwel (talk) 02:34, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * PostScript: This apparent paragon of military virtue is claimed not only to have won the VC but also the Philippine Medal of Valor, and the Israeli Medal of Valor, and to be a Hero of the Russian Federation (information inserted by anon 206.73.209.94, now blocked for a year, having previously had a final warning against vandalism). -- Arwel (talk) 21:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * According to a website maintained by the Imperial War Museum on the Victoria Cross (http://collections.iwm.org.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.941), the information on this Wikipedia article is false. The webpage is slightly out of date, not listing the 2006 VC, but states that as of June 2004, only one VC was awarded after the Falkland conflict of 1982, to the abovementioned Mr. Beharry in 2004. If Mr. Juarez had been awarded a VC in 2003 as the article indicates, I believe it would have been listed on this site. Beharry's VC is, according to BBC News, the first to be awarded in 20 years (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4358921.stm). Again the conflict of dates indicates that this article is false information. -- saberwyn 04:39, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. If a Filipino abroad made it with something as big as the Victoria Cross, it should hit the local newespapers in as little as one day. And I've never even read of this. I don't think the others have, either. --- Tito Pao 22:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. per Tito Pao. If this was true then Philippine media would have already reported it. Lenticel 06:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
