I've added a FUR for the Tolkien image. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 17:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced entries

Since the entire list was unsourced, and in light of this discussion, I've removed all of the entries from the article. They are listed below, as they appeared in the article, so as to facilitate their restoration if and when references can be found. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

this appears extremly silly as the majority of names on the list are clearly in scope. The majority of names are not even a BLP issue. George Rex has long past away - Mountbatten (former Battenberg as he changed his name in the whole "the merry wifes of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha" event) has been blown by the IRA. His nephew is missing of the of the list. But he is still alive and and obviously we can't say he is a grandson of his granfather without sourcing.

I realise that not all of the entries are covered by BLP, but the general principle of verifiability still applies. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:27, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see from the article and from the struck-out entries below, I've started to reinstate some entries with sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
