Untitled

Lindsey Kemp Played in the 80's at the Sadlers Wells some marvelllous productions of Shakespeares "Midsummers Nights Dream" "Divine" and another I cant remember. All beautifully choreographed and presented. Have a programme at home I kept and will add more. This artist deserves more coverage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.214.57.7 (talk) 12:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

South Shields

"Born on the Isle of Lewis on May 3, 1938, Kemp was raised in Yorkshire.." Why is he in the category "People from South Shields"? Paul B (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see this was changed by an IP in this edit [1]. No edit summary was given, and other sources say he was born in Shields [2] so will change it back. It seems that Kemp told lies, according to the Guardian: "In the past, his tendency to elaborate has resulted in a kind of parallel autobiography, a Kemp who was born on a remote Scottish island, expelled from school and thrown to the wolves in London. The truth is more mundane: Kemp was born in South Shields and went to boarding school in Berkshire. "I find myself telling the truth more these days," he admits." Paul B (talk) 15:35, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR - Birkenhead

A User who has not edited since 2006 (and even then it was only 4 edits) has changed the DoB, with Edit summary:

"I have changed place of birth after conversation with Lindsay Kemp and backed up by birth certificates. Prime source.."

A classic case of WP:OR, but I can't be bothered reverting, as South Shields wasn't referenced either.--Mais oui! (talk) 18:55, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Official birth records (subscriber-only link here) confirm that he was born in the Wirral, so Birkenhead (in line with other sources) seems correct. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:43, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality

Nothing about his personal life or sexuality? The fact that he had a romatic relationship with Bowie that resulted in a faux-suicide attempt on Kemp's part? 208.54.37.142 (talk) 09:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
