message: :It should be noted however that both of these men are relatively unknown, minor figures whose statements seem to contradict the positions of both the English media and police regarding Dave's importance.
I have removed the above which followed on from the part of the article where Bernard O Mahoney and Frankie Fraser's views on Courtney are stated. The article might now not conform to NPOV but the above just does not stand up. Leaving aside O'Mahoney for a moment- Fraser was a major criminal. (The leading gangland figures in the 1960s were the Krays and Richardsons and Frankie Fraser was an 'enforcer' for the Richardsons) He started to write books and do media work 5 or 10 years before Courtney- and would have become quite well known to the public. Therefore his credentials for commenting on Courtney's standing and his profile would be quite good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.126.38.224 (talk • contribs) 
Even O'Mahoney has a name, even if it has been more than a little smeared in recent years, he has been proven to be an associate of the essex boys- unlike Courtney who only appears matey with other celebrity naughty men. --193.61.159.26 (talk) 20:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV ? 

message: Courtney claims to have left a notice outside his cell when leaving for Court, saying "No DSS, no dogs". Anyone doing this would be severely punished. Anyway, there is no time for this when going to Court in the morning, with a guard watching. He claims to have used an obscene defence in the trial, but would have been prosecuted for contempt of Court if he had. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.108.136 (talk • contribs)  
::I wish someone would expose him for being a complete fraud. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.213.57.216 (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He does appear to be a bit of a fantasist. To be fair, he has carved a nice little career for himself and more fool the mugs that buy his books and believe what he says. But, like many people contributing to this page, I come from that background and whenever his name is mentioned the response is always "Dave who?" No-one had ever heard of him at all until the books started coming out.--Twizzlemas 20:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dave Courtney is described as a "mock gangster" in the article on Desmond Noonan. This article on Noonan is approved of and partly written by the Police.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 (talk) 09:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: It is very hard to find a record of the birth of David Courtney or Walter C. Brown
in England or Wales with any date near 1958. It is possible that he was born in Scotland or
elsewhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.202.155 (talk) 10:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dave Courtney's birth might have been recorded under a third name or not at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.202.155 (talk) 10:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth certificate 

message: Reference 10 refers to "gang-land hit men", not unarmed police officers. It, the collision with stationary objects, sounds like lousy driving, possibly caused by not being sober.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 (talk) 14:54, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The hit men might be police at the same time. I am getting sick of Dave Courtney.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.194.200 (talk) 16:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The phrase "unarmed police officers" might be a mistake for "plain-clothes police", if they existed at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.244.167 (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
