Orphaned references in Alfie Deyes

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Alfie Deyes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "vulture":

• From Joe Sugg: Dobbins, Amanda (21 April 2014). "Meet the YouTube Boy Band". Vulture. Retrieved 2014-05-09.
• From Jim Chapman (Internet celebrity): Dobbins, Amanda (21 April 2014). "Meet the YouTube Boy Band". Vulture. Retrieved 27 August 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I have been researching Alfie Deyes for a project and it says English, the right word is British! Bentupper12 (talk) 12:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

 Not done - if only it was that simple, or that clear.
His passport almost certainly says he is a citizen of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island" - although many people mis-describe this as a "British" passport, however, he may well identify himself as English, which is what Wikipedia would consider most important.
This causes lots of confusion and arguments - Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom explains it better than I can, and has a specific section on Changing an existing UK nationality, which would require reliable sources to show that he considered himself British, rather than English. - Arjayay (talk) 16:05, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Birthdate discussion

I have started a discussion here regarding the inclusion of Alfie Deyes' birthdate and the reliability and appropriateness of his YouTube channel as a source per WP:ABOUTSELF AusLondonder (talk) 13:10, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Please change the name of Alfie Deyes to Alfred Sidney Deyes as his full name. On a youtube video, I took a screenshot to show you from his driving test that shows his full name.

Feminist?

What is it that justifies this person's inclusion in the feminist categories? No mention of anything in the article.Rayman60 (talk) 00:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

well I removed them as no indication that he's active in that sphere in the article, let alone a cite supporting that claim. But I was reverted. Technically it could be seen as running counter to BLP to include a cat without cite. I will ask other editor - maybe they have info not in article. GraemeLeggett (talk) 16:52, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

He mentioned it in a video and by twitter in the wave of people realising that almost everyone in modern times is a "feminist" (someone who believes in equal rights among sexes etc). He's done nothing legitimate towards that statement. Nikthestunned 11:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
