message: The below text is wholly uncited and, even if properly sourced, appears to be almost entirely trivia not worthy of inclusion in a bio. I am thus moving it here for discussion:

replies: text:  I've put back and expanded on the comics-related information (including many references), as it shows Gambaccini's development as a critical thinker about popular culture (not to mention his continued involvement in the comics industry). The information about The Academy of Comic-Book Fans and Collectors, the Alley Awards, and Gambaccini's contributions to RBCC are anything but trivial; unless you want to paint the entire comics industry with a broad brush. -- stoshmaster (talk) 00:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Just to mention that the source given for the name of Gambaccini's partner only mentions the person's first name ("a civil partnership ceremony with his partner, Christopher") - the article needs a source for the surname. --McGeddon (talk) 16:04, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

message: "Paul Matthew Gambaccini (born April 2, 1949) is an American-British radio and television presenter and author in the United Kingdom. He has dual United States and British nationality, having become a British citizen in 2005.
Known as "The Great Gambo"[1] and "The Professor of Pop",[2] Gambaccini was a BBC Radio 1 presenter for 16 years, including 11 years at the helm of a Billboard Top 30 countdown show. A regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's long-running arts programme Kaleidoscope, Gambaccini was a long-time TV morning show correspondent for British television, and makes regular appearances on other British TV magazine shows. He was the host of the 12-part Classic FM series Paul Gambaccini's Hall of Heroes, and chaired the Radio 4 music quiz Counterpoint until 2013, when he was temporarily replaced by Russell Davies. Gambaccini returned to hosting Counterpoint in November 2014 after being cleared of the allegations. Inducted into the Radio Academy Hall of Fame in 2005, Gambaccini is the author of more than 15 books."
Note: "Gambaccini returned to hosting Counterpoint in November 2014 after being cleared of the allegations" - this is the first we hear of allegations!
Can people please sort this out, decide how much such allegations should feature, and structure the article accordingly?
Personally I suggest: ""Gambaccini returned to hosting Counterpoint in November 2014." 
Since he has been cleared of allegations I do not see why they should figure at all, certainly in the introductory paragraph.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.74.53 (talk) 13:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

message: This programme says that Gambaccini took over from Edward Seckerson as presenter of Counterpoint, but surely Gambaccini's immediate predescessor in this role was Ned Sherrin? This article should therefore say that Gambaccini began to present Counterpoint following the death of Ned Sherrin in 2007.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vorbee (talk • contribs) 14:12, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
