False links[edit]

I am disgusted that when I type in Walker Brothers into Wikipedia search I get taken to a small fastfood chain in Chicago. The Walker Brothers musical group is much more well known, much more referenced in popular culture, more cited on the web and POV: a lot lot better than a fastfood chain. I strongy urge someone with the knowledge to create a disambiguation page to do so and allow the multiple searches for Walker Brothers not to have to take the unwelcome excursion to fastfood Brunswicknic (talk) 10:11, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Disgusted" seems a little strong... but anyway, I've done it. No big deal. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Walker clarified laughingly in an Interview in 2006 (youtube it - I am not an internet librarian) that Yes he did go to a monastery but No it was not from depression: It was to study Gregorian chant.

1966 tailor bill[edit]

I keep having to remove this:

On Wednesday February 2, 1966 the Walkers Brothers were in a London court order to pay $182 to a tailor. This was to cover the cost of three jackets they had ordered but never picked up. The tailor indicated that it would not be possible to sell these jackets to anyone else because they were so unusual.^[1]

It's improperly sourced trivia - probably a minor publicity stunt - and has no relevance to an encyclopedia article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:41, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, why would a hearing in London charge a court fee in US dollars. I agree it is non-encyclopaedic, badly sourced trivia, that adds nothing to the article.
