Year of birth

The French and Italian articles have 1947. The German has 1948. How can we be sure it's actually 1946? -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 20:32, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to JPY

I suspect that he is not related to John Paul Young, whence the article should say (no relation). However, they were both born in Glasgow so ther may be - if so what is it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.41.222.1 (talk) 03:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- they are definitely not related Flatoitlikealizarddrinking (talk) 11:07, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guitar George?

A post on the "Songfacts" website about the Dire Straits song "Sultans of Swing" claimed that Young is the source of Mark Knopfler's reference to "Guitar George" and that "Harry" in the song (who "doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene") refers to Vanda. Any substance to this? Maccb (talk) 01:20, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

Is this a joke? George Young (actor) has absolutely nothing to do with the musician.--Gorpik (talk) 11:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removed it, made no sense at all. —Jonny Nixon (talk) 18:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish-born Australian

Him, and his younger brothers Malcolm and Angus are Australian citizens, but they still Scottish-born. They may didn't hold Scottish nationality no more, but they were Scottish-born. I'm not affirming that they are Scottish-Australians, because if they were, they would hold dual nationality, but they don't. Scottish-born Australians are not the same as Scottish-Australians, because they don't hold dual citizenship. G. Picanço (talk) 18:54, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that he was born in Scotland, so what is your point? By the way, there is no such thing as Scottish citizenship.--Gorpik (talk) 15:35, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
