Talk:Bull Allen (soldier)

It could be useful to have a section about the pop-culture references to the man. It has been suggested a couple of times and it is probably one of the reasons why people want to know more about him. The addition of the section would confirm that it is the correct page.

Suggested content of the section:

[edit]

The power metal band Sabaton wrote a song about Leslie Allen titled "The Ballad of Bull" in their 2014 album Heroes_(Sabaton_album) — unsigned comment by 77.110.16.16 at 14:46, 2 October 2017

Please see WP:MILPOP. Per the reasons listed there, I don't think would be a step in the right direction. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 08:23, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To those who are continuing to add this in, please stop and discuss the matter. Continuing to add this in this manner when you have been reverted is disruptive. To me it seems like WP:TRIVIA at best and doesn't really add anything to the article. Beyond this, though, are there any independent WP:RS sources that actually talk about this song and its notability, specifically mentioning this person as the inspiration of the song and why that is significant? If so, please list them here so they can be discussed properly. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:53, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
could the song be put in the "see also" section to appease those who keep putting it in the main article?Realfakebezalbob (talk) 16:54, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. After all, he has a Sabaton song about him 2A02:587:8143:C100:F196:39E5:F15D:E5 (talk) 23:14, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

plagiarism

[edit]

most if not all of this article is copy and pasted from this source, although it is sourced it is still a direct copy and paste of the said source Realfakebezalbob (talk) 16:36, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of Death

[edit]

Currently, the page says that Allen passed away due to a heart attack, however both https://kokodahistorical.com.au/diggers-stories/leslie-c-bull-allen-mm-uss and https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/allen-leslie-charles-clarence-12130, suggested he died from diabetes. Would diabetes be a more accurate reflection, or should the page read "passed away from heart attack resulting from diabetes"? Hemlockian (talk) 09:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or should the page be left as it is Hemlockian (talk) 09:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
