Uncited claim

"During the tour, Paula Yates planned to visit Hutchence with their daughter and Yates's three other children, but Bob Geldof had taken legal action to prevent the visit."

The citation for this claim has no mention of any legal action taken by Bob Geldof to prevent the visit. Plinkis (talk) 05:08, 8 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

It is not really a notable statement either, possibly, but yes anything legal should be cited properly. He certainly packed a lot into that short life.James Kevin McMahon (talk) 17:22, 21 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Safe to say it can be removed? Agreed that the legal claims especially need proper citation if they're going to be made. Plinkis (talk) 17:54, 21 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I rewrote that claim with a proper source. Zoolver (talk) 10:33, 23 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
