Hey
Hi MrDevlin. Just having a wee gander at your talk page and couldn't help noticing the deletion of 'succulent lamb'. I'd never heard of that phrase before, it's a great story, shame it got deleted. For what it's worth I would've voted keep. Hope you can find some way of slipping references to it into the relevant articles, I think it deserves a mention somewhere on WP. Cheers. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 02:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Hillbillyholiday I did my best! The page had many high quality citations of reliable sources, and the article was even cited by Channel 4 chief correspondent Alex_Thomson_(journalist)! See here [] Unfortunately articles such as these tend to attract attention from people with highly prejudiced outlooks so it didn't stand a chance. You can see from the deletion log that consensus wasn't reached and many of the arguments for deletion were demonstrably false: but it was deleted anyway. Hmm. Anyway maybe one day we'll get to the bottom of Campbell's ordination :-) cheers MrLukeDevlin (talk) 03:00, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I read the discussion. I thought the quote from Thomson should've settled it. It may be worth having another go at creating it if the word keeps getting used. And I don't see the harm of mentioning it at Jim Traynor. I had a neologism speedily deleted (to be fair, the word's not caught on), but I still keep a copy hidden away in a box. fffhp. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 03:14, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * One reason for the name change (and the previous deletion of the article) might've been that people kept deliberately linking Campbell with a murderer by the same name on Wikipedia. (eg. ) -- Hillbillyholiday talk 03:25, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
