  • Delete page points to the wrong John Locke, and there's no article for the right John Locke (musician) to merge with. Ruby 20:00, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete --NaconKantari (話)|(郵便) 22:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Leave This article is based on the free george jackson campaign that ran through `83, in liverpool england, the only records that remain are in the liverpool daily post, the band who sung it can still be found blazin' saddles the song was written and produced by john locke. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.14.20.98 (talk • contribs)
  • Article edited I have edited the article to explain the campaign more fully —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.14.20.98 (talk • contribs)
  • Comment: Above user, creator of the Free George Jackson article and likely the same person as John locke, has created Chris Caunce Scandal twice and it was deleted both times. Even if it was a real event, as Ruby said, there's no article to merge it into. --Pentasyllabic 18:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  • COMMENT Well the chris caunce scandal was actually part of the event, and the name given to what happened, the reason that i havent uploaded the article fully is that there are legal restrictions imposed on it, so specific details can not be released so apppologies if my descriptions are vague. with regards to being not able to link the article to another is beacause the chris caunce scadal has been deleted to no real reason, perhaps, another link could be made to brookside or liverpool—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.14.20.98 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete -- There was a "Free George Jackson" movement-- but in 1960s America, promoted by socialist Angela Davis, not 1980s Liverpool. See: George_Jackson (Black_Panther) and Socialist Worker Online (From her “respectable” position as a lecturer in philosophy at the University of California, Davis had played a key role in the Soledad Brothers Defence Committee to “Free George Jackson”.) This version is just unverifiable nonsense from a known Wiki-vandal.—LeFlyman 00:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Visit http://xrrf.blogspot.com/2002/10/brookside-story-to-mark-slippage-of.html, with particular reference to paragraph 8. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.31.253 (talk • contribs)
  • This blog entry was copied into the Brookside article under the heading 'The Brookside Story', but the two edits by 82.12.31.253 that introduced this have since been reverted because it's a straight copy/paste, and is not in keeping with the encyclopaedic entry. -TonyW 13:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Likewise, this is a reference to a UK soap opera promotion, not a real world, nor encyclopedically significant entry, hence this article should be deleted.—LeFlyman 19:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
