Stephen Harrison

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Longer than the previous version and the claims to lordship have been toned down. But it is still an autobio so again I ask, is he notable?

I would also like to see evidence that he has ever entered the House of Lords. The links given seem to relate to Lyndon Henry Arthur Harrison whose peerage was, by a co-incidence, created in 1999 the same year as Stephen Harrison allegedly inherited his title. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment There's some very suspicious parts to that bio. Where a date might be verifiable, it's missing or vague. Key company names are missing - WHICH regional airline? I'm having great difficulty believing any European Regional was flying B767 on ETOPS, or indeed at all. And according to KLM's own [history page] - "July 1995 : KLM introduced Boeing 767-300ER to service." And the photo ic captioned "...in uniform of Captain" but the textbox give LCmdr as rank which is TWO rungs below Captain. I have real doubts that an actual LCmdr would pose for a picture in the wrong uniform. I'm thinking there's something very fishy about the whole bio. MadScot (talk) 19:15, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment One editor has added comments on the talk page for this AfD. He has some significant information to add, which seems to weigh quite heavily against the article. I don't feel I should move the comments, though. MadScot (talk) 20:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * [Delete] There's something fishy here. There is no Stephen Lord Harrison who served either before, during or after the Falklands conflict in a Sea Harrier squadron and no-one by that name shows in the Navy List of active or retired between 1982 and the present.  The KLM uniform is suspect - the cap and jacket show a RN pilots wings and, in one of the links, he is shown in flying overalls wearing Joint Force Harrier patches - JHF did not exist until some four years or so ago.  The four Sea Harriers pictured are FA2 and yet, during the Falklands war we flew FRS1.  The caption to the photgraph is odd; Colin Thornhill is an Air Engineer and would hardly be flying and Carlie 'Canton' is incorrectly spelled. Other links are spurious and his claim to a Mirage kill on 1st Mar 82 has been formally attributed to Flt Lt Paul Barton of 899 NAS - his other claim is also attributed to another pilot.  The title belongs to a Laour Peer Lyndon Harrison.  This entry should be deleted in total. -- Lancelot66 (talk) 16:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC) (Copied from the talk page. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC))
