Talk:James Desborough (journalist)

Overhaul
This page has major problems and seems to be a vanity page by the articles subject. I'm going to chop all the non-encyc stuff. Ashmoo (talk) 12:36, 22 August 2014 (UTC) Other problems include:
 * It goes on to lengthy tangents about the subjects of his writing (The worst is the George Harrison death, but the Britney Spears and others are also problems).
 * It keeps mentioning people that worked in the same organisation without any cite or reason why it is relevant to the article's subject.
 * Almost no cites.
 * Almost no cites to establish that any of it is notable. For instance, if he interviewed a musician, we need a cite from another writer that mentions the interview to establish that it is notable enough to be included in this article.
 * Long lists of links to newspaper / magazine articles that he has written.
