NAME CHANGE[edit]

Why is Michael Talbot moved to Michael Coleman Talbot?? He never used his middle name and Amazon doesn't not use his middle name. NO ONE knows him by his middle name and He has a lot for notoriety than this composer. Someone needs to correct this (H0riz0n (talk) 14:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)).[reply]

Because there are other people by that name, of equal notability. Use disambiguation.Galassi (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note, H0riz0n as been pointed to the proper place to request a page move here--Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 16:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think such a move is warranted. Galassi (talk) 17:17, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace[edit]

I have again removed the unsourced place of birth added recently based on self-confessed "personal knowledge". A person's own knowledge is unverifiable and not acceptable for inclusion in a BLP. If at any time a verifiable source is provided, then of course it can be included. The birthplace is a trivial detail and there is no harm in waiting until a reliable source is available as opposed to including it based on an editor's personal experience. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 16:07, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
