Just as I indicated at User talk:Typesburst, the recent articles on Patrick Hill were wildly inappropriate for Wikipedia. Encyclopedia articles are to maintain a neutral point-of-view and Wikipedia is decidedly not a soapbox from which to rail against injustices, real or perceived. Additionally, biographies of living persons are expected to maintain a higher standard of verifiability using reliable sources.

The subject may merit a separate article, but right now, as a redirect to Birmingham Six, it's rather effective. If, however, a reasonable case can be made for notability independent from (or at least tangental to) the Birmingham Six, then a sourced, neutral article may be appropriate. — Scientizzle 04:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
