Prominent

well i dunno. maybe cos he was a prominent guy in the northeast of the uk? maybe cos his death inspired not one but at least 4 obits in the uk press? maybe cos he was also a lord of the realm? oh the choices the choices... --Peripatetic (talk) 17:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I also added Lucas Sang and Alexandre de Paris when their death reports first came out. Look how nice their articles look now. A little bit of inclusivity won't hurt this project. --Peripatetic (talk) 17:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

He was also featured in most issues of the comic Viz, which during the 90's was one of the most popular publications in Britain, and is still read by several hundreds of thousands today 86.145.229.205 (talk) 18:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

@CP: Don't be ridiculous, that was legitimate criticism, not a personal attack. Maikel (talk) 16:12, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Name Change?

Perhaps we could change (restaurateur) to (cook) or (chef)? restaurateur is horribly hard to spell! =) ĞavinŤing 06:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with the name change. I believe that he owned the restuarant and hired staff to cook. There for he is a restaurateur. Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 22:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

RIP

RIP Abdul, I realise that's off topic, but the man's a legend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.249.232 (talk) 18:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Proof that even a humble curry restaurateur can make a difference. RIP, AL. Maikel (talk) 16:12, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
