Birthdate confusion

edit

The text gives 1926; the birth cat gives 1959; which is correct?--FeanorStar7 (talk) 09:26, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also says he's in his late 80s but in 2010 cannot be older tha 85 if the date of birth is correct. Frankly, this whole article looks like a joke - one of his relatives was the first lady to swim the Atlantic we are told. He is also listed elsewhere in Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Missing_people) as a missing person which this article demonstrates is untrue. At best it's a mess and should be sorted out - at worst it should be junked.194.72.120.131 (talk) 14:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notability? WP:ONEEVENT?

edit

The notability of John Paget Figg-Hoblyn is tenuous, but because this case has been reported in the media for several decades, it meets the letter (if not the spirit) of WP:GNG. He's certainly not notable as an academic, therefore I've added/added back details of the inheritance which brought him to widespread attention. Sionk (talk) 11:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)Reply


How can the first two sentences be edited and added to? There doesn't seem any way to access that part of the article?Kathleen auld (talk) 22:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
