Talk:Iain Lee

message: It seems the wise, intellegent, super smart powers that be have seen fit to take Iain's podcast out of the "free" list at http://lbc.audioagain.com/?action=feeds
They are so smart, I'm amazed they havn't taken over the world already.
In fact, I'm pretty sure their brains must be so big, they've got some amazingly brilliant reason for doing this. Shame my feeble brain can't quite work out what it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.43.21 (talk) 18:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

text: 2nded the removal.  KillerChihuahua just said "blogs, emails, .." and then you say "well look how this guy posts on googlegroups!".  Anything not verifyable from a reliable source should not be included. edit - I thought about it some more and in addition to the above, this addition was based on original research which is also against Wikipedia guidelines. --Syrthiss 18:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I can understand the overcautiousness given all the vandalism. However, could other reputable Iain Lee fans look at the evidence and verify that this is very likely to be true? (How likley does something have to be for it to be included? Beyond resonable doubt?) These posts show that a pretty hard-core Kiss/Beach Boy/Monkees fan has posted to usenet, using a name that others have said Iain spoke about on air. I doubt this is something that can be 100% proven, but it seems pretty conclusive to me. Anyone else agree? Pctuk 19:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia has stated guidelines for reliable sources.  I'm afraid we'd have to see this in print / on the web in one of the listed kinds of sources there.  So while what you say might be verifiable (which is dodgy since it mainly lies in original research inferred from the posts), we need it to be Verifiable.  I'm sorry. --Syrthiss 19:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's OK, I understand that you need to make sure that all the information is true. I just think there's a balance between quantity of information and quality, and I think in this case quality is being upheld at the expense of information being left out that is very likely to be true. If someone could upload an audio snippet of Iain saying this, would that be accepted as evidence? Thanks for taking the time to discuss this. Pctuk 20:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Not seeing a question doesn't mean refusal... I'd however much prefer the above backed up with an official record of his real name from his studio, or official record of his legal name change.

replies: text: That would be how these things happen. ;)  That aside, I'd need to see a reference somewhere other than the Christopher Lee wikipedia article (since that info was only added earlier this month, by an anon, and not sourced). Syrthiss 18:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it before as I couldn't see how he could be his grandson as he didn't have a son, but if it is true that hs birth name is Rougvie then maybe he took his mother's maiden name.

The latest move is a first by Twitch which is therefore prominent. No radio show has ever gone from traditional to twitch before. Also, lee has an extensive past in streaming have previously done video games and reviews of the 11 o'clock show, one of his listed past shows.
