 * Delete This seems to be some sort of vanity page. --Jacques Pirat Talk 21:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Vanity or hoax? I lean toward hoax after some checking. It doesn't appear to be verifiable. --Stormbay 21:46, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Obvious hoax - the last tram (note spelling) in Edinburgh ran in 1956. Tevildo 22:21, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Few other things that don't read true: There is no Private First Class rank in the British Army and the line "Patrick McBean joined the Black Watch after serving in the British Army" is a bit odd as the Black Watch is part of the British Army.

 * I have put a Speedy nonsense tag on it. There is nothing true in the article. Check for proof that he was never head of the McBean clan. SilkTork 23:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete since unsourced and very dubious. However, this isn't really a speedy candidate as the text is clearly coherent. I wouldn't mind closing this early but let's let the AfD go a bit longer than a few hours. Pascal.Tesson 00:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Hoax, not verifiable. Culnacréann  00:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this sickening hoax. The two Black Watch VC winners were: Corporal John Ripley, 1st Battalion, The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) in 1915 and Lance Corporal David Finlay, 2nd Battalion, The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)also in 1915. Bigdaddy1981 00:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
