Crime sheet/ rap sheet - not a biography at all - content should be at the crime article. Off2riorob (talk) 20:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep It does look like a rap sheet, but that's the nature of his profession, summarizing a criminal's career in a few sentences is very much a rap sheet. He seems to have published two books,  including an autobiography. Not through a vanity press, John Blake Publishing, a publisher of true crime books, including some bestsellers. I don't own the books, but their existence seems strong evidence there is enough content to write an article that would be a biography. --GRuban (talk) 21:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Freddie Foreman is one of the most notorious British gangsters of all time and certainly deserves a page on wkipedia by any normal standards applied to such topics. I did not start the page but just started editing it to build it up. The scarcity of the information is not a reason to delete. A template suggesting improvements would be more appropriate. The problem currently with adding information is the best sources for citation are non-web. So its not for lack of history the page is currently scarce but lack of web based reputable sources. His life has been the work of documentaries and books but i cant find much on the net that carry the same authority. Thundernlightning (talk) 21:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
