[edit] Inappropriate section moved to Talk

The following new section was added on 31 July 2007 in this edit by 91.104.190.26 (talk · contribs), who has made no other contributions:

 Other persons called Hugo De Vries

The fictional television detective Inspector Morse had an adversary called Hugo De Vries who appeared as a Professor Moriarty figure to Morse and took great delight in inflicting mental torture and nearly succeeds in breaking Morse. De Vries was played by Ian McDiarmid who also played Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars sextology.

I removed the section from the article and am offering it on the Talk page for your review. My sense is that is does not belong. I've never seen two unconnected people with the same name being treated together in a single article. Usually there is a DAB page or a hatnote to deal with similarly-named people, and in any case this paragraph would need to establish its notability. Please comment if you disagree with the removal.
