Talk:List of people from Gateshead

Incomplete? edit

Why is the list of famous residents said to be incomplete and needing expansion? It seems pretty comprehensive to me. What connection has Ernest Bevin with Gateshead? I suggest deletion. I don't see that Andrew Carroll, only eighteen and not a regular player for Newcastle is yet famous enough for an entry. Bandalore 16:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Apologies. Ernest Bevin stood as Labour candidate in Gateshead in 1931 (and lost. Not really a 'resident' though. Bandalore 19:37, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
