Talk:Abz Love

Death?
I removed the following because to the best of my knowledge he is still alive. I searched on Google and Yahoo for any results regarding the matter and found nothing. Here's what I removed:

On June 1, 2007, Breen, whilst driving his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, careered off the road and crashed into the wall of a local residence. Paramedics rushed him to hospital but he was pronounced DOA. Five are making plans for a reunion concert in tribute to Abs.


 * Probably should fix some of the consequently incorrect tenses too. 87.113.8.125 13:37, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Clean up
Tagged cleanup - almost nothing here - and certianly nothing of any substance. Is there nothing interesting we can say about this youth? A curate's egg 14:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * yeah he is a wigga plain and simple

Accent
There is some discussion about his strange accent here.--Darrelljon 23:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Reference to his Jamaican accent keeps getting removed as POV.--Darrelljon 19:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not Jamaican... it's his Hackney accent -- explained here. -- Sarz 01:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes I read that link and was the first to post it here. Abs was not speaking in an East London accent on Love Island, he was speaking in a Jamaican accent.--Darrelljon 19:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Did he state that he was speaking in a Jamaican accent? -- Sarz 00:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Does whether it was conscious or intentional matter?--Darrelljon 20:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've cited 3 references for the Jamaican accent.--Darrelljon 21:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Skilled club DJ
I'd guess that this isn't a NPOV and that no citations can be provided. Perhaps in there were articles in MixMag or DJ about his "skills" then that would be fine. However I'm tempted to delete that sentence because it is bias. I deleted the nonsense about him being a talented rapper like Eminem because anybody who knows the slightest thing about hip-hop would consider his rhymes basic Paul Tew 15:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I got rid of a loads of stuff that appeared not to be NPOV. -- AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Article name
I have renamed the article "Abz Love" to "Abs Breen", this is because I could not find any evidence to suggest that he has changed his name to Love. However, if he really has changed his name please provide reliable sources here before renaming the article. Turco  85 ( Talk ) 09:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Serious page issues
This page is suffering from severe issues, caused by the actions of an SPA user Aeontv. Look at their 'efforts' - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abz_Love&oldid=699620569 including adding stuff like (unreferenced of course) ''After 5ive split in 2001 Love admits his life spiralled out of control when he began partying and abusing drugs & alcohol. He reached his lowest point when a rogue agent whom Love had become close to robbed his life savings from the sale of his house. Over £200,000 in total was stolen in total, and with no income or savings and no career to speak of Love became homeless, resorting to sleeping in the loft space of his cousins bakery in East London.

Eventually Love moved into the basement of a wealthy friend he had met on the London club scene but after exhausting his legal options he grew frustrated, became angered at his ex-agent and 'went after him' leading to a dispute in which Love was arrested by police.''

If no-one else has a go on this in the meantime, I will sit down one day when time allows with a TNT-infused axe and destroy all the superfluous fluff and BLP breaching info. Rayman60 (talk) 16:10, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
