Talk:Neil Buchanan

message: Does anyone know why this article seems to get vandalised on a fairly regular basis? To me it seems a strange article to target. --Jameboy 22:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Art Attack.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Art Attack.jpg

message: I know it's not the font of all knowledge but is there any way of verifying if the facebook group "R.I.P Neil" has ANY basis in fact?
:It's proposterous to state that he is dead (particularly considering there isn't one Google result for his death, obituary, &c.) Until a source is available, this is going to be deleted --Luke w (talk) 22:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Backing Vocalist 

message: It should be mentioned that Neil Buchanans former rock band, Marseille, has reformed. The band, of which Buchanan is lead guitarist, have been gigging since early 2009, and are working on new release material. Yorkshiremackem (talk) 16:43, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current Music Career 

message: I think the sources used for dispelling the rumour aren't particularity trust worthy, the source is trusting someones forum post saying they received a reply back from ITV.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.112.129 (talk) 01:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death Rumour 

message: The introduction says "He has two children, a daughter named Molly and a son named Freddie." However, the musical section ends with "He lives in Surrey with his wife and four children". According to the reference it's two, so i'll edit out the other one.
:According to the aforementioned Heat article, Buchanan has three children. This is just as bizarre as his rumoured death. Jared Preston (talk) 11:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Children 

message: Although false, the rumours are themselves notable. Any chance of inserting them back into the article? Francium12 (talk) 23:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's notable enough to justify a whole section. Failing that, I don't see where it could go. 82.13.151.148 (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can see only one article on the rumours from Google News, and that is a short article from a magazine. Its not enough to satisfy general notability guidelines, and forum postings are not largely acceptable for sources. If the BBC/ITN/Sky/major newspaper were to comment on the rumours, maybe then it could be worthy of inclusion. --tgheretford (talk) 10:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Aintree isn't in Lancashire. See the following links for addresses of places in Aintree.

It should say Aintree, Liverpool or Aintree, Merseyside.

replies: text: Buchanan was born in 1961. At that time, Aintree was in the county of Lancashire. The county of Merseyside was not formed until brought into existence by the Local Government Act 1972; this happened on 1st January 1974. Therefore, Buchanan was born in Lancashire.

message: It says at the Banksy article that Neil Buchanan is Banksy. Is this true? 74.215.131.114 (talk) 04:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this rumour is now sufficiently well established to deserve a (qualified) mention on this page. It has been reported (as a rumour) in mainstream British publications (e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/banksy-identity-neil-buchanan-art-attack-bristol-rumour-fake-b404800.html) Unfortunately, this may well attract vandalism. Perhaps the page needs locking? --TdwrighT 10:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is he Banksy? 

message: We are currently working with Neil, and would like to add this information into a new section called Art, near the top.
Art
After an internet rumour on Facebook pronounced the Art Attack star ‘dead’, Buchanan decided to return to his fine art studio in 2011 and began recording and painting his own childhood, growing up in the simpler times of 1960s Britain, before cyberspace and social networking sites resigned child’s play to indoors. Buchanan decided to paint “the story of childhood” when children were free to play in the great outdoor adventure playground and the result was his first ever published collection of limited edition fine art entitled Neil Buchanan’s HOPE STREET

message: This sentence from "Early Life" makes it sound like he was born thrice:
> Neil Buchanan was born in Aintree, then in Lancashire, now in Sefton, Merseyside
It should probably be something like "... was born in Aintree, but spent his childhood in Lancashire. He now resides in Sefton, Merseyside", however the article is locked (proof that he is Banksy imho) 
Love from,
Jeremy
:Yes, confusing. But actually, what it’s trying to say is that in 1961 when Buchanan was born, Aintree was in Lancashire. It didn’t become part of Merseyside until a local government reorganisation in 1974. I’ve amended it a bit to try and make it clearer. As for the Banksy rumours, don’t make me laugh! --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:56, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many times was he born? 

message: This is due to the fact that there is a recent edition conflict.
According to the first quotation [1] in the article, Buchanan was born in 1956. Birmindarefd (talk) 06:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Last October, Neil Buchanan joined up with EasyJet to launch 'AirCraft' which is in a similar vein to Art Attack. I'm not sure if this is notable enough or whether there are good enough sources beyond the easyJet YouTube page, so I'm not putting it in the article at this point, but here's the easyJet video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir6VsHj3tKo and you'll also find other videos by Neil on their channel also.
In interviews about this, he has also stated a willingness to do an Art Attack 30th anniversary episode, but the only sources there are news websites, and in any case I feel that would probably be more appropriate for the Art Attack page itself. giftheck (talk) 17:08, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
