thread_title: Whitstable

message: This paragraph is at the end of the Hammer Horror section: Although madness was always a stronghold for Cushing, he was also regarded by many as one of the most "grandfatherly" horror actors on the screen. During movies such as "Dracula A.D. 1972", the audience was often far more captivated by his sweet sensibility than his races through mod London." It seems to me that this paragraph is commentary and unless someone can demonstrate it, I move for deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.186.119 (talk) 03:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opinion paragraph with no facts 

message: Is there any source information regarding whether he and his wife had any children?  Also, were there any other relatives of note(brothers, sisters)?  The family context is often both interesting and revealing in a biographical entry.  For example, the existence or absence of family would add shades of meaning to Cushing's loneliness after his wife's death.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.25.167.160 (talk) 22:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think that the % of this article taken up by Star Wars reveals that the article is written from more of an American standpoint? I think it implies that it took up a significant portion of his life and more content needs to be added for other parts of his career. SGGH ping! 21:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Cushing was a member of the British Model Soldier Society and enjoyed playing Little Wars. These facts come from an article at Mental Floss . I'm not sure if this should be in the article and if so where. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 16:17, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Carrie Fisher stated in an interview that she found the interrogation scenes in Star Wars so difficult, not due to the nature of the scenes, but because in real life Peter Cushing was such a nice man it was difficult when acting against him to be intimidated by him and she was quoted as saying she found it difficult to be intimidated by a man wearing carpet slippers.[citation needed]
Well, I searched far and wide and there is no evidence of Fisher making that statement. Other web sites quote this Wikipedia article and NOT Carrie Fisher or any News source or book about Carrie Fisher. 
Peter Cushing readily admitted that he was wearing slippers; see the interview at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdXLDvx_tHQ However, the Carrie Fisher statement cannot be confirmed. It's no surprise that Wikiepedia says [citation needed]
I don't want to revise that sentence (to remove mention of Carrie Fisher) without consensus. How do others feel about this? Peter K Burian (talk) 23:54, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Cushing has been dead long enough that this isn't a BLP, and the statement was only tagged this month, so I see no harm in letting it sit around for a bit, given that there's no deadline. That said, I'm also not opposed to someone removing it if they feel particularly strongly about it. DonIago (talk) 14:01, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: On a side note, I see that you edited your original post after I'd replied. Please don't do that without making it clear that you're refactoring your statements, given that it could put other editors in a situation where their own statements are invalidated to some degree (though not in this particular case). Thank you. DonIago (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should we delete the alleged Carrie Fisher statement about Cushing?  

message: The section begins with the sentence "Cushing later gained renewed popularity" yet not a single one of the references claim renewed popularity. After I pointed this out, 89.240.160.133 decided to add a list of blogs and page ranks to "prove" renewed interest claiming "Both this page's views (which went from 1000 a day to 50,000) and the PCAS have confirmed record numbers of renewed interest." but this is original research. Page views don't "prove" renewed interest in an actor and unless this is verifiable information it doesn't belong here. The only actually reliable sources are about the ethics of using a CG actor and this belongs in the Rogue One article, not here and certainly not in the lede.

replies: text:     ... Was the agreement by the two users above that 1) we not include the mention of re-creating Cushing with digital effects in the lede? Or 2) was it about the level of his popularity? Peter K Burian (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't Think either belongs (I've looked but can't find a source which mentions popularity increasing, otherwise i'd have kept it), BUT I would personally leave the 'Rogue One' bit up until the hype around the movie dies down or we will keep getting constant reverts. Maybe some temporary compromise to stop people adding it? Something like "and his performance as Grand Moff Tarkin in the star was franchise". Emrabt (talk) 08:41, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd remove both as noted by Emrabt. As for concerns about constant reverts, I don't personally have issues telling people "discuss at Talk", but I'm willing to be overruled on that one. DonIago (talk) 16:44, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cushing and Rogue One 

message: "Although not conventionally religious...": he was a devout Catholic, was he not?; another similarity with Christopher Lee which doubtless cemented their friendship. Later in the same paragraph, mention is nade of his "deep Christian beliefs". Nuttyskin (talk) 01:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a horribly vague sentence. It's nice that it's cited, but as there's no page number and the book is hundreds of pages, I wasn't inclined to myself go digging for more information as to the specifics of how he was unconventional. DonIago (talk) 16:44, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Length 

message: I found this video from 1946 that seems to be in the public domain, a still from which (around 3:19) could be used in the WWII and early career section.
Additionally this image claims to be Creative Commons, though I don't know who the original uploader is. Anyone know if either would be usable on Wikipedia? jonas (talk) 20:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

message: How could you forget about a movie with a title like that? But you must have because it's not in your filmography, though Peter Cushing was very definitely in it. In fact, he was the star. 81.152.163.175 (talk) 00:20, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
