The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Merger proposal

The page Flash Flash doesn't really warrant it's own page. I suggest it's incorporated with this one. --drak2 (talk) 21:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. Veggiehead (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sounds good. someone just do it, wiki is free for all to edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirjames04 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tone of the Article

Ok, so I know 'Tone' is a bit of a arty word.. but, the majority of this article does not do Greg or his show as much justice as it deserves! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.0.154 (talk) 04:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

If you can find a source about him marrying ellie Goulding, put that in. The dating bit is unsourced.188.141.24.232 (talk) 22:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BBC vandalism

Vandalism mentioned on BBC Radio 1 by Ferne Cotton including the addition of "Honeybunch" and "Under 16's Morris Dancing" by IP 132.185.144.124, registered to the BBC. 89.243.65.28 (talk) 10:04, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. There appears to be no argument against this being the primary topic by Wikipedia's standards. Cúchullain ^t/c 16:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greg James (DJ) → Greg James
Greg James → Greg James (disambiguation)

– Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 16,000 hits per month compared to 250 for the judge. 82.132.218.89 (talk) 20:42, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This is not a prominent DJ to merit being the main page. Keep as is with Greg James as the disambiguation. werldwayd (talk) 09:00, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Stats show the DJ is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Zarcadia (talk) 11:45, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - for somebody with such a potentially common name who not many people have heard of, such a name would be of no help to readers to quickly establish if this is the person they were seeking information on. -- Ohconfucius ^{ping / poke} 09:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Stats show the DJ is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Unreal7 (talk) 12:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. User User:Onlythetruthisappropriate moved the page to Greg James (Disc Jockey) with this edit [1] whilst this move discussion remains open. Regardless of whether this is moved to Greg James or not, it should certainly not remain at the current title (which is now Greg James (disc jockey)). Zarcadia (talk) 09:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It might also be worth pointing out tht the user that made the change was blocked on 31 January as seen at User talk:Onlythetruthisappropriate. Zarcadia (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Proposal for section move

Hello, similar to other show articles such as Fearne Cotton and Scott Mills, I propose that the 'radio show' section of this article which features information about Greg's Radio 1 show should be moved into a new article, Greg James (radio show). The majority of this section is not biographical content that belongs on a personal article, but more content about the show itself which does not yet have its own article - and the show is certainly notable enough for one. I am happy to do this move and create this article as long as this proposal is uncontroversial - I'll do it soon if there are no objections. Thanks -BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 01:33, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the lack of controversy, this has now been

Done --BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:35, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge podcast into article

The podcast does not have enough coverage to be considered notable so I'm recommending it be merged with this article. He is the host and the topic seems most relevant to him, there's already a small section dedicated to the topic. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have neglected to link the podcast: That's What He Said Podcast. That article looks unreasonably detailed for a podcast of dubious notability, and a major trim and merge may well be called for. The trimming needed might be so extensive that it should be raised in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Verbcatcher (talk) 08:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Way too long of an article to be merged --FMSky (talk) 23:40, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
