Split off Stewart Super Flare[edit]

The Super Flare section should be split off because it unbalsnces this article, and there is enough material to have its own article, leaving just a summary here. It's about half this article... 76.66.194.183 (talk) 15:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I agree belatedly. Anyone up to the task? SnottyWong ^confess 19:40, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - Split away - please Plucas58 (talk) 10:36, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Split declined. There is currently far too much detail for a general encyclopaedia. That specific section, and the article as a whole, needs cleaning up before a split can be considered. SilkTork *^YES! 21:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obituaries[edit]

The original texts are out of place here. They would be fine at Wikisource. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:28, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obituary has now been moved to Wikisource. SilkTork *^YES! 22:13, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
