Article Grading:
The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh)

I would place this article at the lower end of A-class. It needs sections, sources & citations, another photo (or infobox) at the top, copyediting and an expansion of the first paragraph to create a better introduction. As an extra comment here, I'd like to suggest that Epstein's interest in John Lennon, from a sexual perspective, may well have been pivotal in his motivation to launch the band, as documented in a very comprehensive biography I read many years ago. Of course, a source for that would need to be cited, and the fact carefully edited to avoid any possibility of offence to any sexuality.--Mal (9 March 2006)

[edit] Tone/verifiability

This article, while good, has the tone of a biography, not an encyclopedia. There are numerous unverifiable statements, especially with regards to his influence on the Beatles, and what might have happened if he didn't die. All judgements needs to be attributed to notable sources. I'm going to add tags. Could someone go through and add the sources (or chop the problem statements)? Ashmoo 04:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article adoption

I have adopted this article within the WP Beatles project. Liverpool Scouse 21:44, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Added infobox (non-performing personnel - managers aren't specifically listed (admittedly there aren't that many famous managers) but I'm pretty sure they apply, as producers etc apply. Needs an image though. Liverpool Scouse 22:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parentage

Can we add the names of Brian's parents? --kingboyk 15:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. Thanks! --kingboyk 23:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I suggest that the persons who are writing this article should buy any Beatles book. It's very well-written, but "It was reported", and "claimed", are not good enough. Buy a book, put in-line citations in, and nobody will complain. --andreasegde 04:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
