[edit] Aidan Cavanaugh

Aidan Cavanaugh (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Assuming that it is accurate, this is an autobiographical article about a teenaged son of English notability, who has not achieved anything of note. There are no sources, and a google search for "Aidan Cavanaugh + Berkshire" yields 0 results. Prod removed by creator, who claimed that print sources exist but was nonspecific regarding those sources. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete To be strictly accurate, there is a claim of importance in that the subject was, according to the article, awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal, which is a remarkable honour for the Canadian government to bestow on a fifteen year old, especially when it was only awarded to Canadians. No sources is really not a surprise here. (And just another technical note, but the Old Etonians category would only apply if he had gone to Eton, which the article says he hasn't yet, and only then when he left, presumably at the age of 18 or so, not 15).

    • Just a slight clarification. There is a web page offered as a source, but seeing as that is a copy of the article pasted into a webpage, with the section edit links included, that doesn't quite count. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 01:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. At best - unnotable, at worst - hoax. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
