Talk:Steve Brookstein

message: "The neutrality of this article is disputed". Lol, I think that is the biggest understatement that I have seen on this website, and this article needs completely re-writing by somebody who isn't Steve Brookstein's biggest enemy!

message: Hahahaha! I love it. When someone does get around to making this a respectable encyclopaedic entry, pleeease save the old one to a web page somewhere, it's too funny to lose! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.128.145.173 (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The subject's own website appears to be the sole source of information for much of the article, and fails WP:RS. Some of it may be verifiable, but the other stuff should be expunged. I have tagged the article  for the meantime and see if someone can come up with the goods. Ohconfucius 03:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Steve I don't understand how that terrible paragraph was entered in your Wikipage.   I can assure you that I never wrote it.   I would not do anything like that as I absolutely hate vandalism.   I will get in touch with the mods (if there are any) and see what happened.Gill P 17:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Vandalism

message: I guess this article is important, as it refers to the first winner of a competition/TV show, which while it isn't in everyone’s taste is a defining moment of early 21st century Britain. TV shows help to fix a point in our minds, EG The Morecombe and Wise show fixes the 1970's for a lot of people. It would not surprise me if Mr Cowell films celebrity taking head pieces as he makes the X-Factor, So that in 15-20 years when Channel 4 are making those 50/100 best type TV shows, he has ready made footage to sell to them, or I am just cynical. Anyhoo I digress, and as an important article perhaps it could be locked down, if it isn't it will forever swing back and forth between Mr Brookstein supporters (himself mainly by the looks of it), and his detractors. I mean Mr Brookstein blinding insight that the X-Factor is a sham that is unhelpful to the music business, doesn't everyone over the age of about 10 know this anyway, folk who think it's ever going to find the another John Lennon or Micheal Jackson are obviously deluded. His claim that the X-Factor is rigged is also rather suspect, the fact the he himself won it would comprehensively debunk that allegation, if Simon Cowell had rigged it, then why did he rig it in such a fashion that a middle aged jazz singer won?
