Talk:Richard Baker (broadcaster)

"At one time he lived in Barnet"
He definitely lived there circa 1970, in Hadley Green (as a kid I lived a few doors from him). Grutness...wha?  22:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No longer in the article. Is there any source? But does it really matter? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:04, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Does it matter? Yes it does. Everything matters. Is it important? Perhaps not, but let the reader judge that. MartiniShaw (talk) 05:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If Baker had once lived in a bedsit for a month in Hadley Green would the reader want or need to know? Grutness (a few doors down) would be a WP:RS for this fact? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk)
 * If someone can find a couple of sources - maybe using local newspapers and/or maybe something less obvious - of local celebrity stuff he did in Barnet, that would maybe put this discussion to bed.  What Baker did in Barnet would be part of the public Richard Baker.   On the other hand if he simply slipped into Barnet on the late night train and lived quietly under a Barnet stone till the time came to get back to the studio, then maybe the Barnet connection isn't too significant.

 * Wholly agree. Although Hadley Green doesn't seem to have many stones, only acid grassland? Martinevans123 (talk) 17:10, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

WP:BDP
That guideline says this (my emphasis added): "Anyone born within the past 115 years is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death. Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside." Doesn't this apply here? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
