Talk:Charlie Kimber

Old Etonian and son of a baronet
Interesting to see the unsourced claim that Kimber is an Etonian and son of a baronet, which would understandably be seized upon by his political opponents if true. It gets repeated in many left wing blogs but I couldn't see any cast iron evidence so I've removed it from the article.

I guess the "left leaning" baronet Charles Dixon Kimber or his successor Timothy Roy Kimber would be the most likely fathers, but there's no evidence either had a son called Charles Nicholas. Sionk (talk) 16:35, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, there's an article in the Guardian that was the source but I will try to find a second source. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:48, 19 March 2014 (UTC)


 * It sounds like Chinese whispers to me. How many other Kimber baronets are there? Based on there being so little hard information about Charlie Kimber, I question whether there should even be a Wikipedia article about him! Sionk (talk) 19:11, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Well he's National Secretary of a national political party, albeit a not very successful one. Notability guidance at WP:POLOUTCOMES says "Leaders of registered political parties at the national or major sub-national (state, province, prefecture, etc.) level are usually considered notable regardless of that party's degree of electoral success." Is he a "leader"? The SWP have a collective leadership as far as I know and the most significant roles seem to be founder and national and international secretaries. Of those three, he was the only one who didn't have an article. A Google search suggests that he would probably meet the GNG too. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see the founder is dead so Kimber is presumably one of the two most important individuals in the SWP. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:38, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Well exactly, it doesn't have a leader as such. But newspapers regularly call him the 'boss' etc. of the SWP so I guess that will be good enough for Wikipedia.Sionk (talk) 02:43, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
