Merger
editGiven the bio is a stub, there's no reason to spin-off a "death of..." article. All information can suitably be merged into the bio. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:40, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose: This article is not a stub, the projects clearly note it as a start. His death had far reaching consequences beyond just that event, it was the cause of the downfall of pro-wrestling in the UK and fulfills WP:GNG. Futhermore, might it be easier if you really feel that this is needed, to use the WP:requested move tag rather than this unending PROM tag. The C of E God Save the Queen!

- "Stub icon This biographical article relating to professional wrestling is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. Stub icon This English rugby league football biography is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it." The Rambling Man (talk) 07:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- The Projects on the talk pages appear to disagree with that assertion. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:08, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- Not what the article says, obviously. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- In any case, that's really beside the point. The death can be covered in this article, and any perceived "far reaching consequences" should be in the relevant wrestling articles which already exist, such as Professional wrestling in the United Kingdom (which interestingly enough doesn't even mention Malcolm Kirk!).

- Very well, on this occasion I can agree with you, I have made the merge now. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:49, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Date of Birth
editMalcolm Kirk was born 18th December 1935. Somebody keeps changing it to 1936. It is definitely 1935 because I am his daughter and have his birth certificate, thank you, Natasha Kirk YorkieTash83 (talk) 18:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Natasha, I notice that a few websites like IMDb, Wrestlingdata and find a grave have his year as 1936. If I were you I go and report this to these sites. Kingzwest (talk) 02:52, 24 June 2020 (UTC) Kingzwest (talk)
