Prod[edit]

I've prodded this
Frank Beck was a character depicted in the film All the King's Men. In can’t off-hand remember if he was a real person or a composite.
If this page is about a real person it should read like a biography; I suggest you look at a few for ideas about format, content, layout etc.
It also needs sources/references, a category or two, and proper links. Swanny18 (talk) 18:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was a real person[1] and the incident has been studied by historians[2], but I think that, unless coverage of Captain Beck for anything other than this incident can be found, WP:BIO1E applies and that this should be presented as an article about the incident rather than as a very incomplete biography of just one of the men involved. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've re-written this to be a bit more biographical. I don't think WP:BIO1E applies; there's a bit more to the man than the incident, which is already recorded elsewhere anyway. Swanny18 (talk) 20:59, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

I've moved this to match the titles of similar articles. I trust that's OK with everyone. Swanny18 (talk) 20:30, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine by me - we should try to avoid having ranks, titles or other honorifics in article titles. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
