== Death ==

:Steven Vu isn't in the wikipedia, so hardly legendary. We don't have yearbooks in the UK either. [[User:Jackliddle|Jackliddle]] 19:14, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The BBC source, used to support Barry's death, says: "Barry passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife Ann and all his family". So how does "Barry died peacefully at his home surrounded by his family... " contravene [[WP:NPOV]] and how does it also contravene [[MOS:EUP]]? Thanks. [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 15:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

:Since when did inclusion in the wikipedia become a requirement for legendary status? And yearbooks, though they are a predominantly American creation, are more and more common here. So get with the times. I've seen the episode concerned, and it is hilarious. Vu is a wonderfully skilled actor.

:Er... it doesn't at all, as far as I can see?! If the supposed problem is with "peacefully" then just put it in quotes as per the statement from their manager, Phil Dale, which the BBC report mentions. [[User:JezGrove|JezGrove]] ([[User talk:JezGrove|talk]]) 22:43, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

::I agree. But it's been reverted twice. So I'm loathe to change it until the editor concerned expresses a view. What is currently there seems unnecessarily terse. Just about the shortest possible entry, I'd say. [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 12:23, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

== Semi-protected edit request on 6 August 2018 ==

::If he's so legendary, why don't you start a page about him? Some of us haven't a clue who he is. Also, who is "Richard Tyrone Jones", other than "a Chuckle expert". Or is that all he is? In other words, some fan. Is it usual practice to quote otherwise unnoteworthy fans on Wikipedia? — [[User:TheJames|TheJames]] 20:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

::From [[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]] article, and I quote (bolding the relevant bits):

::"Despite its mass popularity, many people hold negative views of the paper. They accuse it of being coarse and unprofessional; its journalistic style of being sensationalist, designed to appeal to the [[lowest common denominator]] and "[[dumbing down|dumb down]]" public discourse; '''and its editors and staff of being willing to print stories based on tenuous evidence, and to manipulate the news and even fabricate stories for partisan reasons.'''"

::I admit that at first I thought the anon was a vandal, but seeing as this was reported in none of the other papers, I think it's safe to say that the story is untrue. [[User:BillyH|Billy]][[User talk:BillyH|H]] 17:26, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

:The original edit never mentioned [[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]] so cannot have had anything to do with you deleting it without checking it out?

:I found a copy of the article [http://www.3cr.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=banter;action=display;num=1114796299 on a forum]. I then copied a segment of the text and googled it, which showed a few other posts with the same text (some with the title "What a dirty Chuckle"). Not "authoritative" sources, but they do seem to corroborate each other --[[User:Joshtek|Joshtek]] 18:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

===Regarding Inclusiondiscussion===

:IP92.236.253.249. This is not what Talk pages are typically used for. You are welcome to continue to construct the section on the live article page, or ideally, if you created an account for yourself, in your on Sandbox area. Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/86.188.121.77|86.188.121.77]] ([[User talk:86.188.121.77|talk]]) 20:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

The threshold for inclusion here is "verifibility not truth" so although the story may very well be bullshit, the fact it was written in a major newspaper means it's still worthy of inclusion; to ommit it based on your personal opinion of The Sun would be POV and OR. If the facts are still debated however, you can word it so that the article states that the incident was reported in The Sun, rather than stating it purely as fact. If any sources can be found debunking the story then those can be included to balance the article. - [[User:85.210.43.171|85.210.43.171]] 22:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

*This is actually a perfectly valid removal of unsourced content. The talk page might not be the ideal place, but if the 92... IP doesn't want a sandbox (I can create one if need be); then this is the next best thing. [[User:RandomCanadian|RandomCanadian]] ([[User talk:RandomCanadian|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/RandomCanadian|contribs]]) 22:56, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

:The [[WP:V|verifiability policy]] says, "Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources." Please read our guideline on what constitutes a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]]. If the Sun has a reputation of being unreliable, then we cannot use it as a source. -- '''<font color="navy">[[User talk:Dalbury|Donald Albury]]</font>''' 23:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

::If NO other sources run with this story, and there's no other way of verifying the story, I really don't think the Sun is a reliable source on its own. They have frequently ended up in court for telling fibs about celebrities, and have very little interest in publishing stories representative of the truth. The Sun is more of an entertainment magazine than a real journalism-based newspaper, and several ex-editors have admitted as much. The fact that their most famous regular feature is the soft porn photo on page 3 gives you an idea of the level they're operating at.

== Names ==

According to the [http://www.thechucklebrothersontour.com/about/index.html About Us] page on the offical tour website, they are called Paul and Barry Elliot. --[[User:RedboXen|RedboXen]] 13:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone find something official about Barry Chuckles supposed death? [[User:Jackliddle|Jackliddle]] 14:33, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

:It was first added to the page on the 9th, following which both brothers have appeared in the [[CBBC Channel]] studio, and on [[BBC Look East]]. Obviously untrue. [[User:BillyH|Billy]][[User talk:BillyH|H]] 15:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

== On Tour ==

Both Brothers are in great shape. This evening saw the wonderful show "Doctor What" at the theatre.[[User:Cleddau|Cleddau]] 22:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

== Chucklevision ==

for 19 years they've been doing the same jokes, week in, week out. "to you, to me...", when will it end?e

NEVER!!!!!

Why is there no mention of the Brothers hit single, "Silly me, Silly you!". Surely this masterpiece hasn't been forgoten!

== Train Name ==

I have it on very good authority from a friend at Serco Rail that a unit will be named after the bro's, but, have it your way... (It will not be a nameplate, merely a vinyl wrap) <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/86.141.97.18|86.141.97.18]] ([[User talk:86.141.97.18|talk]]) 20:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

Edit: My apologiesd, it appeared that it had been removed. very odd. Incidently, there IS a Class 156 page on Wikipedia, so why isn't the link working from the CB page??

***

This was vandelised (train turned to 'pony', possibly by an agrevieved Northern Rail customer) but then competely removed. I have reinstated the original statement.

:I have looked for anything that would corroborate this claim but can find vitually nothing. Saying the you have it on "very good authority from a friend at Serco Rail" on the talk page is not the same as what you have written in the article, "In 2007, Serco Rail announced that in March their Northern Rail franchise will name a DMU unit after the duo, in a marketing initiative named 'Local Heroes, Local Trains'." As is addressed above, the [[WP:V]] says, "Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources." Not trying to be zealous, just looking for some verfication.
