Is there someone, possibly a member of the band or an obsessed fan, deliberately going around Wikipedia referencing Half Man Half Biscuit? Think of a famous but cultish person from 1980s popular UK history and you can bet that HMHB get a mention, sometimes at greater lengthh than the actual person the page is about. It's tedious.

Ditto Weird Al Yankovic for the US. Some people seem to treat him as test of encylcopaedic notability.
To call something a controversy you need independent reliable sources identifying it as such. Also; can I point everyone at WP:BLP (which requires sourcing on biographies of living individuals to be exemplary), WP:NPOV (which cautions us against soapboxing our views) and WP:OR (which discusses how we are not supposed to do our own research). The sourcing in question here is bad; lacking secondary sources discussing the matter, synthesising material to reach an originally research conclusion, and non-neutral terms attacking the subject. --08:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
I’m not sure how the Independent article can be said to use Wikipedia for the info that she works with Nestle – it quotes "Jayne Threlfall, Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation" (word missing?), who would appear to be aware of the matter. It’s also open that she works with them here: [1]. Interestingly, she chaired a discussion on the issue last year [2], which appears to have concluded that sustained breastfeeding should be promoted.

Just to note; editors at The Independent have removed the article most of that section was sourced to, so I've had to cut our content here (obviously). -- Errant ( chat!) 13:47, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
