Talk:Gus O'Donnell

Sources/Citations tag
I notice that this article has had a sources tag since May 2010. A quick scan seems that there are some pretty good citations for the key areas of this article and a lot of work has been done since this tag was added.

I'd suggest the tag be removed Jpmaytum (talk) 10:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

"God"
I've removed reference to Sir Gus also being known as "God". The article at the link provided was falsely represented: the journalist writing the linked piece points out what his initials spell (clearly a personal observation and no suggestion that it is in use by anyone) and then uses the acronym once despite several further references to him. This does not show that Sir Gus is also known as "God" as claimed, informally or not.

 * A google search seems to contradict this PoV, certainly in more recent years. I would expect to see it included. KenBailey (talk) 22:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

He certainly is not God. He isn't even the PM even though he thinks that he runs the country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.102.15.131 (talk) 09:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Roman Catholic
In 2021 he described himself as "having been brought up as a Roman Catholic". This may imply that he does not consider himself to be one now.
