Do other editors think that Davie's comments about Gary Lineker's salary are sufficiently significant to be mentioned in Davie's biography? Just because Davie makes a comment reported in the press, it does not necessarily mean that we should report it here - we are an encyclopedia, not a news feed. I would prefer that such details be removed. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:50, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Being a failed council candidate and a former vice chair of a local Tory association does not make someone a ‘former politician’ in the sense that an ordinary person would understand.
I understand why it’s important to show his past political activity, but this is just OTT 2A02:C7F:F682:5700:20E6:19DD:3686:8DFD (talk) 09:32, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, it's a weird one. While his former party allegiance is likely notable to an extent, I am not sure it belongs in the lead and it especially is not worth considering his former profession or why he's notable. His former profession was marketing, which got him working at the BBC in the first place. Given this, I am removing it from the lead. Solipsism 101 (talk) 13:54, 4 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
