Deletion?
I think these lines might as well be deleted-


 * It often thought that the 1973 Jim Croce song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" was inspired by Barnes but it was in fact inspired by one of Jim Croce's friends from the Army[13]


 * It is also often thought that the "Mr. Big" character in the Bond movie Live and Let Die was inspired by Barnes

The source for the first one only talk about Jim Croce's friend and there is no mention of Barnes to connect this. And neither the first or second have a source for these "general" thoughts. Without those these seem needless. I figure I'll give about 24 hours and if no one responds I'll assume no ones cares and go ahead with my change.MephYazata (talk) 02:36, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Nikky Barnes net worth at the height of his career was well over 100 million dollars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.246.236.209 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 9 April 2011

Change article title to Nicky Barnes?
I'm thinking the article should be renamed to Nicky Barnes per WP:COMMONNAME. Leroy might have been his given name, but he was commonly known as Nicky. Looking for comment before I move the page. – JBarta (talk) 22:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Having heard no objection, I'll move the page. – JBarta (talk) 19:40, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Leroy Barnes → Nicky Barnes – WP:COMMONNAME and talk. Also, redirect "Leroy Barnes" to "Nicky Barnes". – JBarta (talk) 19:50, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
