I do not believe that this person meets the Wikipedia notability guidelines. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:07, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of notability. Best of luck to the subject, but an article is not warranted at this time. Should his accomplishments generate coverage in reliable sources, an article might end up being appropriate - but not at present. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 18:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks notability. EricSerge (talk) 19:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. Lacks notability! Oh come off it, it's a clear hoax! Has anyone actually bothered to read it? He's Lebanese, he joined the RAF as an aircraftman (i.e. a private) in September of this year, trained on a Russian aeroplane and two months later is a fighter pilot (a position only given to commissioned officers after long training) with several aerial victories! And he lives in Paris! This is all blatant rubbish. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Way to assume good faith there, Necrothesp. It's likely a hoax, but I don't think it's blatant enough for a speedy - you really really have to go off the deep end to meet that standard. But it is a clear deletion. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:11, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, but good faith does not extend to accepting that a Lebanese national who lives in France joined the RAF as a ranker, acquired a commission and qualified as a fighter pilot in two months (a fraction of what it would take him to become an officer, let alone a pilot, in the RAF) on an aircraft the RAF doesn't fly and has already shot down several aircraft. We have to exercise a modicum of common sense! How on earth could this not be blatant rubbish, pray tell? AGF is one thing, but giving the benefit of the doubt to an article that a hamster could tell was rubbish is taking it too far and gives Wikipedia no credibility. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh, and I should add, an article supposedly about a modern RAF pilot which references a page about the First World War and, for some bizarre and unexplained reason, Roald Dahl! Guys, this is a hoax! Dignifying it with a discussion which accepts it as truth ("Should his accomplishments generate coverage in reliable sources, an article might end up being appropriate") really just makes Wikipedia look like a laughing stock. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:07, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
