His birth name[edit]

Most reliable sources give his name at birth as Emile Sweetman. However, we have had a number of edits from people who seem to be well-informed about him, stating that he was born Michael Emile Telford Miller. An earlier edit - apparently from someone running his official website - said that he was the son of Frederick Edward Miller, a former Government minister in St Lucia, and Madge Murray, an operetta singer. It would be very helpful if the people making those edits gave some explanation here. The facts they state may well be right - and, if they are correct, I believe (per WP:BLP, in my view) they should be included in this article together with an explanation that states that the information given in most sources - like this, this, and this - is wrong. But, so far, the changes have been made without much explanation. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:53, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright problem[edit]

This article has been revised as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Reported death[edit]

The problem with edits stating that he has died is that as yet we have no confirmation in independent, reliable, published sources - which is what we need, before we report his death here. It does appear, from this Facebook page, that reports of his death on 11 April 2016 are true. I assume that we will see published confirmation in the press (or, at the very least, on a reasonably authoritative website) in the next few days. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
