What about Hercule Poirot? Seems odd to mention only Miss Marple but not Poirot too. He's admittedly Belgian and a former policeman, but neither seem to exclude him from the gentleman detective tag. Gymnophoria ( talk) 14:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Why does this article use section {{ hatnote}}s to format its section leads? To me that de-emphasizes the leads, which location would otherwise emphasize. It invites some readers to skip the leads. (Maybe it fools some mirrors of or selections from wikipedia?). -- P64 ( talk) 14:58, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This is "Gentleman detective" so it certainly isn't necessary to say "examples of g.d." in headings; "examples" is sufficient.

Amateur detective redirects here, but there are plenty of fictional amateur detectives who are not gentlemen.

Gentleman detective → Amateur detective – Amateur detective redirects here. The current article title is stretched, thus we get nonsense like "The daughter of a clergyman, Miss Marple is not from the aristocracy or landed gentry, but is quite at home amongst them." Cormoran Strike, not a gentleman. Inspector Morse, neither a gentleman nor an amateur. cagliost ( talk) 09:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
