In his memoirs he describes the nicknames as 'Tall Paul' and 'Small Paul', and not 'Big Paul' and 'Little Paul' as stated here on Wikipedia. I cannot change it however - no edit button. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CR1670 ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
He isn't really notable apart from the scandal he was involved in. Perhaps it might be an idea to junk all the stuff about his TV appearances in latter years, and move the material to Burrell affair here instead? Vashti 21:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I object, he was notable before the affair No Swan So Fine 18:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
An anon. editor offered the accusation (if it is in fact an accusation) that "it is an open secret" that Burrell is a homosexual who has had affairs with several men. I have reverted to the previous edition of the article for several reasons.
1) There is absolutely no source given for that information. (It might be true, I have no idea, although I have heard rumors to that effect.) 2) It is potentially is not actually libelous, especially under U.S. law, which is what wikipedia operates under. Remember, Liberace won his anti-defamation suit when he was accused of being a homosexual, even though he actually was. Even under British law, although libel would probably not be proven, its still not a good idea, since wikipedia could still be sued. To quote a lawyer (barrister) I once knew "the only good way to win in court is to stay out of it." U.S. law is the real problem since, even if it is TRUE, it is still potentially libelous. If Burrell was dead I would not have a real problem with questioning his sexuality... because the victim being dead is an absolute defense for libel 3) If it isn't true or isn't proven, it isn't good for an enclyopedia to give words to seedy gossip. Its bad for wikipedia...

I am requesting that this talk page be moved back to its original location of Talk: Paul Burrell. A vandal appears to have moved the original page from Talk: Paul Burrell to Talk: James bratt, then to here. I don't know how to revert this, so am making this request. Thank you.

"Burrell is very misunderstood by the public and by the media." This in particular stands out, but the whole introduction (pre-contents) section strikes me as NPOV, and has no references. It is written like an amateur press release for him. Thoughts? 130.88.179.77 ( talk) 16:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I personally review this charater as one of the worst in the World. Not on the scale of Mira Hindley, but he is not much better in my opinion. But that is clearly a personal opinion.
I believe it must be possible to find properly sourced material about him that expesses a similar (but less extream) view, that should stand up to Wikipedia's policy, and not be liberous. Drkirkby ( talk) 11:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

This "secret" was that Diana once mentioned to him she might go and live in America. She mentioned this to a few people. 198.140.62.1 ( talk) 13:23, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
