Noel Gallagher

Recreated from incorrectly archived FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Noel Gallagher

I've but it up before, but THIS TIME!!!! Oh Lordy, this time it's got to go up!

Then again...

Not quite self nom. anymore.

Come on! There's a comrehensive ,well researched biography (with refrences at the bottom), inshight into his songwriting, infamous public image and his relationship with Liam. Just read it. and do me a favour, if you spot a spelling mistake, don't come back here and complain, just correct it. Don't worry. It'll just be between you, me and these four. Go on! you know you want to! Crestville

• Object. Extremely biased, containing many personal assertions such as "Gallagher's bravado certainly warrants merit considering the commercial and critical success of Oasis", "which reveals his lonely, paranoid state", "the fiasco of Be Here Now", "Noel's arrogant front", "The arguments seem to pit Noel's calm, complacent wit, logic and canniness against Liam's arrogance, tendency to fly off the handle..."; the subject is constantly referred to by his first name; "fair use" images have no justification given. I suggest a rewrite/peer review. 119 21:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Still, pretty great, eh?--Crestville 21:13, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Fixed POV. However, I defend refferring to him by his first name as the article also makes regular referance to his brother, which could cause confusion if their surname was used. The most logical way to avoid this is to reffer to both by their first name.--Crestville 21:35, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Object. I agree with User:119. This article is full of POV statements. The second sentence of the article already announces the "flavour" of the writing: "[...] though much of the stories of their brawls is the work of the media." Who says so? It it's Gallagher or his brother then quote him, otherwise it's POV. I assume the author(s) doesn't know him personally, ergo they know about him mainly through the media. As such, whether media outlets tend to exaggerate his conflictual relation with his brother is inherently a matter of opinion. Phils 11:32, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - I have added more links to other Wikipedias with the aid of this excellent tool. See my comments on Dorset, above.--194.73.130.132 14:15, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Object. This is still biased, and is also fairly poorly written in places (for example: the article makes it unclear whom Noel divorced, his wife, or his daughter). I support 119's suggestion that this article be either largely rewritten or sent to peer review.
• Object. Of course it's going to be biased, it's the article of a controversial guy! AS long as they make the article easier to read it's fine. Have your own opinions because you can't take all the opinion out of the article cause then it wouldn't be a feature article anymore and it would be damn boring. By the way I'm going to the Oasis concert in November!!!! YAY!
