Not notable? Paul McCartney's son? Are you kidding? He could be locked up in a mental hospital and never seen by the public and he'd still be worth writing about. Stevage 15:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and have removed the notability tag with the addition of why James McCartney is notable in the music industry--he co-wrote some songs with Paul McCartney, played lead guitar (with an electric guitar solo) and drums on two of his albums, and also played lead guitar on Linda McCartney's only album. That should do it. Layla12275 21:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with the line that states something like, because Paul adopted Linda's daughter Heather, she can be considered James' 'full sister'. I don't know the rationale for stating this, but it seems to me pretty obvious that even though her stepfather adopted her, it doesn't change the reality of her paternity, and calling her anything other than the siblings' half-sister is odd. Anchoress 07:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I came here from WP:3O. If she was a half-sister before adoption, she is a half-sister afterward. Adoption did not change who her biological parents are, regardless of the legal and familial implications. The word "half-sister" is used to refer to biological relation. This is not offensive, it's merely the meaning of the word. The OED documents this as the use of the word for a little over 800 years. Hope this helps. — ptk✰ fgs 02:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
There is only one citation in the entire article- none of the statements in 'Family and Personal Life' have citations, which they should because they don't make the most sense. They are also out of order. I'd put the little 'citation needed' thing next to practically every statement in 'Family and personal life', but I've no idea how. 68.183.182.214 ( talk) 05:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
He is notable primarily for being the musical son of musician Paul. the lede should reflect this. the info on his siblings should be at the bottom of the article, in personal life. his relationship with his father, musical releases, performances (both solo and with father), and other musical info should dominate the lede. If he wasnt a musician, he of course would still be notable, but then the article could start with his family relations. Ive attempted to fix this.

The text says: 'It is his first physical release, the two individual EPs being digital only.' CDs are digital. Maybe 'download only' would be better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.108.145.40 ( talk) 15:34, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
So while working on an update of the page, I went ahead and contacted the website people to release a photo in the infobox into the Creative Commons. Anyways, they said we could use this publicity photo - I like that it's more current than the other one, but if someone has a recent performance shot, that would probably be more preferable. Feels weird using publicity shots on Wikipedia. Otherwise, the update I did was pretty standard, just organizing the content into an 'early life', 'career' structure as is more normal, and adding some recent references.

You are invited to participate in an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/The Beatles on the issue of capitalising the definite article when mentioning that band's name in running prose. This long-standing dispute is the subject of an open mediation case and we are requesting your help with determining the current community consensus. Thank you for your time. For the mediators. ~ GabeMc ( talk| contribs) 21:59, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
