[edit] Death?

I removed the following because to the best of my knowledge he is still alive. I searched on Google and Yahoo for any results regarding the matter and found nothing. Here's what I removed:

On June 1, 2007, Breen, whilst driving his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, careered off the road and crashed into the wall of a local residence. Paramedics rushed him to hospital but he was pronounced DOA. Five are making plans for a reunion concert in tribute to Abs.

Probably should fix some of the consequently incorrect tenses too. 87.113.8.125 13:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

Tagged cleanup - almost nothing here - and certianly nothing of any substance. Is there nothing interesting we can say about this youth? A curate's egg 14:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

yeah he is a wigga plain and simple

[edit] Accent

There is some discussion about his strange accent here.--Darrelljon 23:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Reference to his Jamaican accent keeps getting removed as POV.--Darrelljon 19:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not Jamaican... it's his Hackney accent -- explained here. -- Sarz 01:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes I read that link and was the first to post it here. Abs was not speaking in an East London accent on Love Island, he was speaking in a Jamaican accent.--Darrelljon 19:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Did he state that he was speaking in a Jamaican accent? -- Sarz 00:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Does whether it was conscious or intentional matter?--Darrelljon 20:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I've cited 3 references for the Jamaican accent.--Darrelljon 21:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] skilled club DJ

I'd guess that this isn't a NPOV and that no citations can be provided. Perhaps in there were articles in MixMag or DJ about his "skills" then that would be fine. However I'm tempted to delete that sentence because it is bias. I deleted the nonsense about him being a talented rapper like Eminem because anybody who knows the slightest thing about hip-hop would consider his rhymes basic Paul Tew 15:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I got rid of a loads of stuff that appeared not to be NPOV. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
