Talk:Andrew Lawrence (comedian)

message: He was also in the one off comedy show http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007znpj. Would that be worth a mention? Daggsy (talk) 21:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Whilst the article may still lack references and thus appear to fail WP:N, the subject appears to qualify under WP:ENT so I vote keep.

message: I wonder if someone could enter his birth date. It does not seem to be included in the article. Technut (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't see how what he said regarding Mock the week is a defence of UKIP. More that it is a criticism of comedians for thinking they are clever for insulting UKIP. Nothing he's said that I have seen, or is referenced, suggests that he supports UKIP in any way. How about "UKIP controversy" or similar as a title?

replies: text: I don't know where he stands on UKIP specifically, but he has always portrayed himself as pretty right wing. Whether he is, or if he just acts that way to stand out amongst other comedians, is unclear. It's also clear from his past pronouncements that he has a problem with women who think they can be comedians. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:23, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Not sure it's even noteworthy, but it seems to be about Mock The Week, not about UKIP at all really. Mezigue (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Somebody just before my edits deleted any mention of that controversial Facebook post. Given that this person made nine edits in quick succession, and those edits are their only edits ever, and that one of those edits was literally "he's got a DVD out", I have to presume that this person is somehow connected to the subject. But anyway. In my opinion, the FB post and the ensuing drama definitely passes notability requirements given the storm it sparked in comedy circles - it was reported in a variety of national newspapers, and the first time I'd ever heard of the bloke was in reference to it. I know that normally political views would be excessive/unnecessary detail on an article like this - e.g. I think the mention of 'right-wing' that used to be in the intro was totally superfluous - but this case is an exception. Do people agree? Massivefranklin (talk) 00:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If this section is to be deleted, then I will be AfDing the whole article as this is just about the only reason that anyone heard of him nationally. It is also very well sourced.  If there are many tweaks needed to it, then we should either correct it or improve it as needed, but there seems to be no reason at all to remove it. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:41, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
