Talk:Curtis Warren

WikiProject British Crime

 * For those interested, a WikiProject regarding crime in Great Britain has been proposed. MadMax 19:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Involvement in drugs
Warren wasn't a particularly big player in the drugs business in the mid-80s, as the article previously stated. The book 'Cocky' clearly states that in 1988 he was merely a street level dealer on the first rung of the ladder, and it was only in 1989 that his name started to become mentioned even among the major names in Toxteth. 81.155.178.248 11:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Clearly not the "Greed" gameshow winner, right? ;)
clearly this is a different Curtis Warren than the guy who won $1.4 million on the gameshow "Greed" in early 2000 -- by guessing the 4 of 8 TV series that have been made into movies (since then, another 2 became movies as well :sigh: ) 199.214.24.219 (talk) 00:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Reliability of Trinity Mirror North West & North Wales Limited newspapers as sources?
Are the Liverpool Echo/icLiverpool and Liverpool Daily Post reliable enough or should we remove the text only sourced to them? -- Jeandré, 2008-03-17t20:20z


 * Specifically the Jersey info, not the other uncontroversial bits. If other reliable news sources (BBC etc.) report on it (and it doesn't look like they are ) I think we can put it in again. -- Jeandré, 2008-03-18t09:13z


 * I have read the book "Cocky" and the hidden text certainly does not contradict my memories. I intend to remove the hidden text markers. I will see if I still have the book to WP:V, but I do not think there is any general controversy about what has been included. P.S Google rates icLiverpool strongly enough to include it as a source for Google News  Lucian Sunday (talk) 23:23, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I've commented out the unsourced bits again per wp:v and wp:blp. Google News is not a reliable source for qualifying reliable sources - it includes all sorts of tabloids. -- Jeandré, 2008-07-12t19:54z

Update
Any update on his case??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.57.155.143 (talk) 12:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing section?
After Warren was released from jail, local police commented that he had turned his life around, a bouncer at a Liverpool nightclub.
 * There is no reference to a jail sentence up to this point. Valetude (talk) 13:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Stated as fact he owns things

 * "He owns casinos in Spain; discos in Turkey; a vineyard in Bulgaria; land in the Gambia; and money stashed away in Swiss bank accounts. He could have retired rich, but decided to continue".

Speculative. That Warren is in prison for non payment of a court order to pay a large amount is no kind of evidence that he currently has those kind of assets. As I understand it there was a claim that he put 10 million though an account ten times making 100 million (nice round figure) and it is deemed he invested it and it has appreciated in value. Wikipedia require a reliable source for information about living people. If land and businesses are not in his name, he does not own them.Overagainst (talk) 15:39, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

“Gangster”
Gangster is not a very objective term.

Should it not be simply “Criminal” or “Drugs dealer”? Rustygecko (talk) 21:16, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
