Talk:John Thompson (Canadian poet)

message: This is a dubious claim, although it also appears in Peter Sanger's Collection of John Thompson's poetry. Living close to where John Thompson was born and where his family resided at that time, Timperley, I did some research in Manchester Central Library Archives. His mother had to leave the Timperley location when John's father died. But there is evidence that John and his mother went to live with her relatives. His address while studying at Sheffield University was recorded as 9 Hartington Drive, Manchester 21 - where his mother and stepfather lived. I am told that there is archival record of this and will follow up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.135.92 (talk) 12:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Following the death of his father and abandonment by his mother,[7] 

message: Though well documented, mention of John Thompson's apparent suicide has twice been removed without explanation. Information concerning the suicides of Ernest Hemingway, Margaret Laurence and other writers is included on Wikipedia. Is there a reason why Thompson should be treated in a different manner? --Victoriagirl 03:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
