Talk:Michael Grade

message: Grade has repeatedly claimed he removed this programme from production when he was able to do so. The dates of the programme and the period when Grade had direct responsibility for it are tight enough to question whether he actually commissioned it - as the article alleges.

replies: text: Oppose - Known for his career in the television industry and not as a peer. Also no disambiguation is required for this article title.--Lucy-marie (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Support. WP:NCPEER is quite clear. This chap is no longer wholly or exclusively known by his pre-peerage nomenclature. Kittybrewster  ☎ 15:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment. No chance he will be known as "Lord Grade" as Lew Grade already has that name. Kittybrewster  ☎ 18:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Support. Former businessmen who have been ennobled are almost invariably known by their titles thereafter. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Comment - This is not a Crystal Ball and what they are currently known is what we have to take as the current commonly used name. If in the future the individual is known regularly by their ennobled title then that would be grounds to change the article title. To though say, it is expected that the names they are known by will change is not how things work on Wikipeida.--Lucy-marie (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

* What is the significance of listing both "education" and "alma mater"?  Secondary school (high school) and university (college)? Both seem to be secondary schools: surely a mistake?

message: The following sentence is problematic:
* Grade left Channel 4 in 1997 to head First Leisure Corporation, He departed two years later, following a substantial internal re-structuring, to return to the media industry as chairman of the new Pinewood and Shepperton Film Studios Company.
The problem is according to our WP articles on these two studios they did not merge until 2001 yet the above statement implies they merged in 1999. We need to clean this up somehow. Anybody have a source? Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 13:28, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pinewood & Shepperton 

message: Is there any (sourced) truth to the assertion that at the time Grade was the BBC executive over Doctor Who his girlfriend was Colin Baker's ex-wife? I read this on a comment in a Who forum and if provable it would add a wealth of context on Grade's intense dislike for and firing of the 6th Doctor.
