Charity Commission investigation
editThe Guardian reports today: "Watchdogs have launched a formal investigation into concerns that the family of NHS fundraiser Captain Sir Tom Moore personally profited from the charity set up in his name.
" But it seems inappropriate to add this, because (a) the charity is not mentioned anywhere in the article and (b) it has nothing to so with Moore himself. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:39, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- For completeness, it would probably be worth adding a paragraph or two about the charity itself, perhaps under a "Legacy" banner - since it seems like it's fairly closely linked to the subject of Captain Tom. You're right that mentioning the controversy only, without a wider paragraph would be undue. — Amakuru (talk) 13:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Moore's date of enlistment
According to this Moore was conscripted into the Army in April 1936 just before his 16th birthday and selected for officer training at 16 and a half. No way did this happen - I suspect his enlistment date would have been 1938 or 9. Can someone check — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.165.35 (talk) 23:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
As Captain Tom Foundation links to this page, I think we need a section on it. We can keep it brief and very non-committal (for obvious reasons), but it needs to be there. Boynamedsue (talk) 18:39, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

No page on daughter "Hannah Ingram-Moore" currently exists
editIf you do a web search currently for "Hannah Ingram-Moore", this page is the first result (at least on Google).
Noting the various significant, national contraversies surronding Mrs. Ingram-Moore, from how the charity she founded has been run, a building errected for the business which now has to be demolished, it seems rather odd she does not have her own page on Wikipedia with this information presented in a clear and factual way. 185.184.140.15 (talk) 11:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

- I'd be a bit sceptical whether she's really notable to be honest. Mentions in connection with a single EvenT (WP:BLP1E), and WP:NOTINHERITED would appear at first glance to apply here. — Amakuru (talk) 00:00, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think she's notable enough for an article, she exists in the public domain purely for her association with corrupt activities relating to this charity, but content relating to her involvement should be mentioned on this article under the charity section since she is his daughter and it's his foundation. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 09:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- I agree that her notability is primarily inherited, at least as of now, I have added details of the CTF problems to that section. Boynamedsue (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
