Speedy deletion discussion from 2005[edit]

Even though the "most successful band" it isn't, I oppose the speedy deletion on the grounds that it is really just a short article about a significant person. Weasel

Multiple issues[edit]

No in-line citations.
Woefully inadequate WP:Lead.
WP:Linkfarm. Especially in Videography. See also Wikipedia is not a repository of links.
Tone and Matter of Style issues throughout main text and discography.
Update information to 2010 where possible.

Shorrock is an ARIA Hall of Famer and should have a much better article. I'm busy with other editing and Real life (tm) and will be unable to do so.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed major edits[edit]

I intend making some major edits over the next few days/weeks. Interim edits may be disorganised or incomplete. I will attempt to address the issues I mentioned above starting with deletion of the Linkfarm in Videography.––shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now at B-class. Further work possible with Lead and personal life details (e.g. full names of parents, sister, 1st wife, 2nd wife) but I've done my bit.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:40, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Naturalised Australian?[edit]

We say he is, but his Member of the Order of Australia, awarded today, is Honorary [1], which applies to non-citizens only. What's the real story? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:49, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, his "honorary" status came as a surprise to me. Despite living here since 1954, it seems Shorrock never became an Australian citizen. I have established on ancestry.com that he appears on Australian electoral rolls, but that would be a consequence of British subjects eligibility to vote. Unless there is any information to the contrary, we need to remove the label "Australian" from the lead, and also remove "Category:Naturalised citizens of Australia".

Certainly remove the category. But, while he may not be an Aussie citizen, he's an Aussie in every other way that matters, so I have no issue with continuing to describe him as an Australian. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 03:02, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
