Talk:Peter Carter-Ruck

Untitled
The article says: "Carter-Ruck did not speak to his daughter, Julie Scott-Bayfield..." She should hyphenate her maiden name so she could be Julie Carter-Ruck-Scott-Bayfield. Cacophony 23:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and if he had hyphenated his full name, she could have been called Julie Frederick-Carter-Ruck-Scott-Bayfield. 87.112.25.116 (talk) 08:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Separate article for Carter-Ruck
I do not think that it is appropriate to discuss the present-day activities of Carter-Ruck, the law firm founded by the subject of this article, given that he retired many years ago and died in 2003. It would be more appropriate to create a separate article for the law firm, as it is manifestly notable, and the subject of multiple independent reliable sources. 08:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree it doesn't seem right to have info about this person's company in an article about them. I'll split it later on. Smartse (talk) 17:55, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed, especially as Peter Carter-Ruck left the firm bearing his surname. I've made a start - hopefully it will make a good basis for a larger article.Autarch (talk) 18:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I've moved the rest of the info from this page, by the sounds of it there should be plenty of sources about Carter-Ruck out there. Smartse (talk) 20:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Non notable person article should be deleted
This person is non notable. He's just a lawyer, they are ten a penny. This massages an ego.

delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.46.187 (talk) 01:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't have a snowball in hell's chance of deleting PCR on notability grounds, since eminently satisfies WP:N. The article cites good verifiable sources. He has 2 decades or more of non-trivial mentions in Private Eye alone, besides the many other features I've read on him over the years. You can take it to AfD if you like, but as I say you have zero chance of getting a deletion. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:00, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Agreed that PCR should not be deleted, especially given his non-trivial mentions in Private Eye. However the style / title used for his eponymous firm in that magazine should also be included in this page, given that PCR as an individual requested they stop. If I recall correctly there was a Have I Got News For You episode in which Ian Hislop suggested someone should "Carter-Ruck off" - the use of his own name in firm ties (and should tie) the conduct of an eponymous firm to the example set by it's founder.
