"Burgeoning solo artist"?[edit]

Did Frank's publicity write this? He's not fat.


burgeon

/burjn/

 • verb grow or increase rapidly.
 — ORIGIN Old French bourgeonner ‘put out buds’, from Latin burra ‘wool’.

He wrote "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The One Of Me" so he must be very fat indeed. Ogg (talk) 00:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

burgeoning Adjective "that buds, grows or expands; developing" GetMKWearMKFly (talk) 11:01, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Million Dead breakup[edit]

Leaving aside the ongoing investigation into Vchuffter/FrankFakeTurner's vandalism on this article, I'd just like to confirm that beyond the statement released by the band, there was never much more said about the Million Dead breakup? GetMKWearMKFly (talk) 11:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


- Hi. There have been several interviews where the band go into detail about Franks outrageous behavior. thanks have a nice a day.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontyjoesph (talkcontribs) 23:22, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply] 

Hi, Jontyjoesph, in the future please don't remove other people's edits on talk pages - it breaks the flow of conversation a bit, and as this isn't the live article you don't need to worry about verifiability of facts. Also, can you provide links to these interviews? I still don't think there's anything conclusive enough to go into the article, but if you want to provide some evidence, that'd help. GetMKWearMKFly (talk) 23:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Hi, I suspect 'jontyjoesph' is the same person who has been harassing members of the Frank Turner message board over the past weekend, and who has been harassing Frank himself through his youtube channel. As I stated on this page (which jontyjoesph has since deleted), there has never been anything further said on the issue of the million dead breakup, other than 'irreconcilable differences'.David2206 (talk) 23:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

I've just noticed the questionable-notability template on the page - I'm pretty sure that his notability isn't in doubt, as a popular and established musician both in the UK and internationally. I'm going to leave it a day, to see if anyone has anything to contribute, then I'm going to remove the template. GetMKWearMKFly (talk) 21:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Interview from a few weeks back?[edit]

Can anyone else find and include the NPR interview with Turner from a few weeks back? I can't find it, but it would be a great addition to the resources or external links... --Medra42 (talk) 14:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC):[reply]

And I found it 20 seconds later...

Political controversy[edit]

Does anyone else with an interest in this page think it's worth adding details of the controversy surrounding Frank's politics? Slipperdip (talk) 15:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not being too familiar with this 'controversy' myself, I'd say only if you can find serious discussion of it in reliable sources. (As in, more than 'some people on Twitter got angry with something he said.') Robofish (talk) 15:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How about this Guardian article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.41.57.87 (talk) 13:57, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think we need a bit of elaboration on this section. As it stands, I find it pretty misleading. Claiming to be rightwing was just about the least contentious quote recorded in that article, and the current focus on it seems disingenuous. This is the same article which also quoted him as saying that the BNP are "hard left", that socialism is "retarded" and that leftist politics lead to "misery". I'd say that the controversy stemmed more from these quotes reading as a fierce attack on leftwing politics and less from merely claiming to be rightwing. I'm a bit busy right now, but if no-one has any ideas for a more accurate section, I'll pitch in and make some changes myself next time I'm free. --Midnight Bliss (talk) 00:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
