Talk:Arthur Young (police officer)

Project Assessment
An excellently long and thorough, and interesting, article. I wonder if some of the sections are a bit too long and dense, though. Maybe dividing them up better somehow could be helpful. Also, is it possible to add to the introduction a sentence or two about why he's significant or notable? LordAmeth 09:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Alive?
I've been trying to find out if this individual is still among the living. If so, when is going to turn 100. Any help is appreciated! Longevitymonger

Hello,

I receive a daily online "Life of the Day" from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Here is the latest data on Sir Edwin Arthur Young I recently received:

"Young, Sir Arthur Edwin  (1907-1979), policeman, was born at 55 Chamberlayne Road, Eastleigh, Hampshire, on 15 February 1907,...Young died at St Thomas's Hospital, London, on 20 January 1979. His ashes were subsequently scattered at Beachy Head."

So I have updated his biography accordingly.

Major edit
The article is written to the standards of 15 years ago, with chatty gossip and very sparse referencing. Young is in the news, with his time in Kenya under scrutiny. I'll be trying to take it in hand. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:28, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I have now done passes removing unreferenced material, and introducing new referenced material. The background to the recent news story about Young is now there in detail. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
