Drink driving[edit]

Hi, Please can we stop adding the drink-driving controversy, There was no direct action as a result of it all so as such it's not really a notable thing or something that's worth including, It's also worth adding Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive266#Kirsty_Gallacher was in favour of it being removed. –Davey2010^Talk 16:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused. "Place the template:BLP noticeboard template on the talk page of articles that are being discussed here, and remove it when the discussion is resolved." Can't find it being added and removed here. Nigej (talk) 16:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nigej, The article was discussed at BLPN a few months ago although it wasn't closed/resolved ..... that being said I'll paste my BLPN comment here:

"a few celebs don't have drink-driving incidents on their article yet they too were heavily reported on, Ofcourse every celeb makes a mistake and in this case there was no job lost and no consequence in terms of her job and so I do agree with the IP in that we don't need to report on every little cock up a celeb makes .... but then again this could all simply be a case of the BLP wanting to removing "negative" content from the article .... In some ways I feel as if the content is there to simply "shame" the BLP and nothing more (On a side note Ant McPartlin also drank & drove however the stark different between these 2 blps is that one is in rehab and been axed from the television show they host for now as well as being axed from a TV advert deal (ie there's been consequences for one) where as the other has been banned from driving and had to pay a fine .... See what I mean ?). –Davey2010Talk 20:40, 26 March 2018 (UTC)"

You're more than welcome to go back to BLPN but as no one really objected the removal I don't see the point of going back there again, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:32, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was just querying whether the correct procedure was followed. Perhaps no one really objected because no one really knew anything was going on.. Nigej (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah good point, I'll go and file another, BTW apologies I had actually misread what you wrote above so ignore all of the above, Cheers, –Davey2010^Talk 17:52, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Kirsty_Gallacher inregards to the paragraph, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:09, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And again consensus for that BLPN thread was not to include that paragraph, Any future additions of this paragraph will result in the article being protected indefinitely if need be, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 13:56, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's sourced and was adjudicated, so not sure it should be out, but I'll protect the page and y'all can sort it out. I blocked one of the ip's (ironically) for unsourced edits elsewhere and gave them a EW warning for here. Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:03, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was agreed over at BLPN not to include so IMHO there's nothing really to sort out here, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:31, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

nationality[edit]

There's been some reversion over that. Please sort it out here. Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:07, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish or British: who cares? She is both. Nigej (talk) 17:16, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She also identifies as English, therefore she is British Scf1985 (talk) 09:36, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could do with a reference for that. Could go with "is a British, Scottish born, television presenter." or "is a British television presenter, born in Scotland." Nigej (talk) 10:03, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at reference number 2, there’s your evidence. So I believe it’s best to go with identifying her as British as that covers all bases and settles the dispute, however small. In the same way Gabby Logan for example could be considered Welsh or English, is considered British, so I believe Kirsty Gallacher should be identified as such as well Scf1985 (talk) 12:19, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more than happy with that but clearly others aren't, for whatever reason. I would be nice to know their reasoning for wanting Scottish. Nigej (talk) 13:03, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
