Talk:Mike Christian

First chat
Please delete this article entirely. This disgraceful, so-called "media personality" should receive no attention whatsoever. Hopefully, his career in radio will be permanently ended very, very soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.188.2 (talk) 03:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * That's absolutely ridiculous. This isn't a tabloid, this is an encyclopaedia. Keep your juvenile judgements to yourself. --Tubusy (talk) 11:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * It's an apt judgment, and certainly not "juvenile". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.75.57.247 (talk) 12:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * There are also articles here on Myra Hindley, Charles Manson, Peter Sutcliffe, etc. Shall we delete all those too, so we can forget they ever existed? Altered Walter (talk) 12:20, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The idea isn't to erase everything that you don't like; you'll notice that there's still an article on Jimmy Savile for example. The article is clearly warranted, especially since Christian is now referenced all over the internet. Love him or hate him (and yes, I tend to think he's a disingenuous liar), he's certainly notable.Jaduncan (talk) 21:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd say to keep the article however please clean it up. Deleting an article simply because you don't like the person is not warranted because there are plenty of people on Wiki that are in bad taste to another person and Mike Christian has been thrusted into the internet spotlight by recent events internationally and people require some information about him. Keep the article. --Throttler (talk) 22:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, what you say is correct, but the winner of Big Brother similarly is thrust into the "internet spotlight" for their 15 minutes of fame. Does every Big Brother contestant get a Wiki page? Of course not. This person's "career" or "acheivements" simply does not rate a Wiki page. The fact he has behaved disgracefully as a DJ, and is quite clearly an imbicile, is not to the point (either way), is it? It surely doesn't enhance the case for giving this person a Wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.35.10 (talk) 02:41, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Attempting to blank the page, like you did here, won't work and is unhelpful. Altered Walter (talk) 04:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Correct that not every Big Brother contestant does get get a Wiki Page however should something that has brought considerable attention (warranted or unwarranted), people will be requiring more information out of curiosity therefore why not leave it there. Regarding Mike's behaviour, it maybe a little early to speculate his behaviour being "disgraceful" is really a matter of opinion rather than fact as that all the evidence about this prank has not been produced.  Mike maybe simply following orders from management in accordance to his contract.  His behaviour is certainly questionable to many moral standards however the results of the prank were totally unexpected within the normal confinements of human psychology according to many psychologists. Throttler (talk) 03:44, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

When you look at the article the section about his life, education and work is just as long as the section about the royal prank which is already incorporated into a separate article. This raises the question if there's anything else we need to know about Michael Christian except from the rayal prank call. Personally, I feel we do not and information needs regarding this issue are fully satisfied with the article on the royal prank. I thus suggest a summary of this article to be incorporated into the royal prank article and to delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.14.22.175 (talk) 00:28, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think so as I was looking for this page. I think there should be a page for Mel Greig as well.117.199.2.49 (talk) 13:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Justice

How old is he? There's an article on the net that says that, 'They are clearly kids out of their depth," a hospital source said.' So how old? He has had too long a career to be a kid. 117.199.2.49 (talk) 13:16, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Justice

Did he end up getting sacked from 2Day FM? Looks like it to me. Why doesn't the article say this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.75.42.105 (talk) 12:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

An award was given?
I understand he recieved an award the next year. Had it been the Nobel-Prize, I could read the name of the recipents before him, and those that were given the same award on later years. Is the next award ceremony televised on the channel that gave the highest bid? Is there a page that confirms anyone had won the same award within the past five years? --Stat-ist-ikk (talk) 20:44, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
