The result of the discussion was retarget to Recurring in-jokes in Private Eye#Names intentionally misspelled or misstated. --BDD (talk) 15:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Piers Moron → Piers Morgan (links to redirect • history • stats)     [ Closure: keep/delete ] 

there is no RS and this is a BLP violation Legacypac (talk) 18:06, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, or retartget to Recurring_in-jokes_in_Private_Eye#Names intentionally misspelled or misstated. The redirect is to the section Piers Morgan#Ian Hislop with this text and reliable source quoting from the horse's mouth:

Hislop also revealed that Morgan had attempted to quell the feud in an article in The Mail On Sunday, saying, "The war is over. I'm officially calling an end to hostilities, at least from my end. I'm sure it won't stop him carrying on his 'Piers Moron' stuff."^{[pm 1]}

With this change I've added {{R to section}} to the redirect but it already was redirected to that section. Si Trew (talk) 22:27, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Hmmm, that being said, it's ^{[failed verification]} in the Indie article, the quote from the MoS. The Indie does say:

...Hislop's frequent attacks on "Piers Moron" in Private Eye provoked Morgan to retaliate with The Mirror's Gnomegate...

However, this biography also quotes it (and plenty of other sources on the Internet):

• Herbert, Emily (4 April 2011). Piers Morgan: The Biography. John Blake. p. 87. ISBN 9781843584599. Retrieved 3 January 2015.

So it can be reliably sourced, and indeed it's in a published biography of a living person (which is open to the rather draconian English defamation law). Si Trew (talk) 22:47, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• keep or retarget per Si Trew. I don't have a strong preference about which, but deletion is definitely not warranted. Thryduulf (talk) 01:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
