Talk:Leslie Grantham

message: Just want to say thanks to the person who updated this article today. (This is with the assumption that all the facts are correct; I don't have the ability to confirm the accuracy of the information, but it seems to be in keeping with other information I've seen.) I'm not exactly objective because I'm a fan of Mr. Grantham's-- when I saw the update it felt like a nice holiday gift!-- but I think you've provided an enhanced perspective over his remarkable life and made a nice addition to Wikipedia. I hope you're around to provide updates as he departs from EastEnders within the next couple of months and moves into the next phase of his career.  Best wishes from --MarjorieM 06:13, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I have removed the e-mail address from the article. Not only does this violate Grantham's privacy, it is also unverified. The Sun only mentioned that he used the "sign-on" Kwanertoo, but they didn't make clear whether this was his screen name or part of his e-mail address. AecisBrievenbus 13:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Some edits made by User:86.162.165.166 made unsourced claims that Leslie Grantham has died in Iceland. As neither BBC News nor any other news source mentioned this event, it has been reverted. Autarch (talk) 03:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I've removed all the material from this article about Grantham being involved in a tabloid 'sex scandal' in 2004.  I don't doubt that this happened, but contentious claims about living people require better sources than the Sunday People. Anyone who wants to restore the text had better find reliable sources for it first. Robofish (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

message: This article has been headed by a tag saying "This biographical article about a living person needs additional sources for verification". It has been announced on the news today (June 15 2016)  that Grantham has died, so he is no longer  a living person. Vorbee (talk) 17:33, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

message: Does anybody else find it questionable that Leslie Grantham was a 'promising netball player', given that traditionally in the UK at least, netball has not been a sport for men. This 'fact' was put on Leslie Grantham's wikipedia page on January 7, 2015. But there was no reference to it made at the time. Since Leslie Grantham died, a couple of online obituaries mention it. And now these articles have used Wikipedia as the basis of their obituary. So we still need a reference that predates Leslie Grantham's death for this to be trustworthy.

message: An IP editor added a mention that Grantham and serial killer Dennis Nilsen had served together in the British Army in West Germany. That mention was removed. I've no strong opinion on whether or not the information belongs in this article, but it is mentioned in this Times article about Nilsen's autobiography.
