Who, what?[edit]

This is just a commercial, isn't it? I live in the UK and I'd never heard of Leon Restaurants. I looked it up when I saw John Vincent had written a testimonial for his wife's publicity company http://peanutandcrumb.com/clients/ , so I wondered who he was.

Some are run of the mill, but others seem higher-profile, such as the accolade from the Observer in Leon's first year. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 17:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New article on LEON Founder (John Vincent)[edit]

Would anyone be open to collaborating in order to create an article about the LEON founder and CEO John Vincent?

To be completely honest, I've just started working for LEON so need someone who is independent and neutral to help on this project. I've already written the relevant content and references but would like to partner with someone who's interested to ensure that the article is unbiased. You'd obviously be able to add or takeaway content as you think is appropriate. Let me know!! Engeledits (talk) 14:44, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Dimbleby[edit]

If Henry Dimbleby's views on Brexit are notable, then they belong in his article more than in Leon's 2A00:23C6:148A:9B01:FDB9:D81A:E087:63D4 (talk) 21:13, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
