Talk:Mollie Sugden

Jimmy Clitheroe's mother
I first remember Mollie as Jimmy Clitheroe's mother in the 60s on his shows which is not mentioned.

Currently resides in the Isle of Man
I tried to add a note to the Recent years section to say that Mollie currently resides in the Isle of Man. She has lived there for many years, and is well known on the Island. She is even listed in Wikipedia as doing so, in the article List of residents of the Isle of Man. Unfortunately the user UpDown is being awkward, and is demanding a reference for this. (You can read our exchange on his Talk page.) I have seen Mollie's picture in the local papers several times over the years, but simply do not have the time to trawl through back copies in the papers' offices just to appease one awkward user. Please, does anybody have a reference for the fact that Mollie Sugden currently resides in the Isle of Man? Please respond here. Many thanks, HairyWombat (talk) 17:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I suggest your urgently need to read WP:CIVIL. Calling another user "awkward" for requesting a reference is most unacceptable.--UpDown (talk) 17:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I suggest you need to read your own Talk page. This is how you described yourself (although you spelt it "akward"). HairyWombat (talk) 19:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Regardless of how I refer to myself (and I think users are allowed to call themselves what they like!), calling another user awkward because he disagrees with you is not at all in the spirit of WP:CIVIL. I would just advise you change don't do this often, because to be frank its not a good way to endear yourself or your argument to others.--UpDown (talk) 19:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not entering any arguments or taking any sides, but sixth paragraph down, last sentence: http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mollie-Sugden --Dazai (talk) 19:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that is a copy of the Wikipedia article (a former version).--UpDown (talk) 09:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

2009 deaths
I don't know where else to mention this (am very new to Wikipedia): Wendy Richard also died in 2009 (Feb 26). She played alongside Mollie Sugden in Are You Being Served, as well as being most noteable for her longtime role as Pauline (?)in East Enders. It appears she has yet to be included in this list of noteable persons deceased in 2009. It is of course additionally noteable that they died the same year. Linda Redmond (talk) 20:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * She is on Deaths in 2009, 2009 in television, 2009 in British television, 2009 in the United Kingdom, as well as on the sidebar of Portal:Current events. She is not notable enough to be in 2009. That she died the same year as Richard does not make either death more notable that they otherwise would have been. Information yes (talk) 21:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. The fact they died the same is not relevant to this page.--UpDown (talk) 06:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Name
Although the article gives her birth name as Mary Isobel Sugden please note the General Register Office birth index gives her name as Isabel M. Sugden the same name also appears in the index when she married in 1958. MilborneOne (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Isabel it is. Mollie also clarifies it herself at the start of this video interview from 1995. Crisso (talk) 12:36, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
