There is flat disagreement over whether a single sentence on the featured mention of the subject, actor Charles Hawtrey, by John Lennon on the Beatles' "Let It Be" album should be included as an 'in popular culture' addition. One user seems to have redacted this fact over a period of several years. There is support on both sides (though a sock puppet is possible).

The citation is the record itself, still widely available and never out of print, and it is undisputed- it is duly covered on the corresponding page for the Beatles song "Two of Us".

I have cited the precedent that even a passing mention by the Beatles, especially on a major released album, merits proper attention on the pages of former world leaders Harold Wilson and Mao Zedong on their far more expansive pages.

The Internet Movie Database biography of Hawtrey cites the Lennon comment in full, and interestingly, Amazon markets a t-shirt with the full quotation: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charles-Hawtrey-Old-Skool-Hooligans/dp/B07CHVGKNS — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Suggs (talk • contribs) 20:44, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks in advance for any help/outside opinion on this.
