Knwon to many as Old Gregg?[edit]

I don't think that's true. Many people know the character, but I think they can all distinguish the difference.

Middle name[edit]

This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived.

A good faith edit's been made recently to add the middle name 'Gregory' which was undone (not by me) and then reverted back by the original editor. Rather than revert again and risk any edit wars, thought it better to discuss it here and give information about the official UK birth register entry that just has 'Noel Fielding' with no middle name - see https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?scan=1&r=250126078:1436&d=bmd_1595843552. The original editor's source for the middle name is "Series 4, Episode 8". Taskmaster. 13 June 2017 (if anyone else wants to watch and skip the intro start watching from around 35 mins in). The relevant sketch is about Fielding's 'marriage' to a plastic duck - although the comedian officiating at the 'wedding' does say his middle name is Gregory, is this most likely a comedic reference to Fielding's character Old Gregg? He still mentions this character on his Twitter and Instagram intro, where he says "I'm Ol Greg mother Licker!". --IndigoBeach (talk) 13:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update: another editor has in good faith removed middle name 'Gregory' and I've removed the good faith citation for it. Please discuss here before reinserting middle name or reverting citation, and also give a more reliable citation for it, thanks! --IndigoBeach (talk) 13:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Really?[edit]

"At the age of 15, Fielding became a goth and had goth girlfriends. At this time he first tried using makeup and said he loved being dressed up by his girlfriends."

Should this really be in a Wikipedia article, lol. ~ Set 92.31.76.1 (talk) 18:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
