[edit] Birthdate

The birthdate given here is highly dubious - according to most sources, Peaches Geldof is 16 years old, so she can't have been born in 1990 as the article states. AdorableRuffian 00:41, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

There are other sources dating from 2004 which state she was 14, on there other hand. I couldn't find any sources to back up her birth date (of september 17 1990), and I find it unlikely that that was her date of birth because it would mean Paula Yates committed suicide on her daughter's birthday, and I'm sure that would have been written somewhere before now. By the way, some sources (ie. BBC news about Paula's death) state that Peaches was 10 when was she died. -- Joolz 01:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

England & Wales birth index says she was born in May/June 1989.[1] --Fallout boy 02:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sex tape... no

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peaches_Geldof&diff=21447497&oldid=21375952

I was guessing Peaches Geldof hadn't made a sex tape... and that was before I found no evidence supporting it on the web... Deskana 19:07, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremy Sumpter

The section of the article dealing with Peaches and Jeremy Sumpter seems incredibly dubious. A cursory google for various facts turns up very little regarding the situation and even less regarding Peaches' - er - sexual morality. Given the lack of even a tabloid article speculating on the 'relationship', the fact that Peaches has refused to discuss even the topic of sex ("Peaches doesn't talk much about [sex] (too embarrassing)", according to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/gender/story/0,11812,1469020,00.html">The Guardian</a>) publically and that the only attribution for any of these charges are forums dedicated to Mr. Sumpter, can we assume that it's all a bit of slanderous rubbish?

Any comments before I get rid of the paragraphs? -idp

[edit] Citation needed

Several commentators in the British media have expressed "concern" about Peaches' revealing outfits and party lifestyle

Which commentators? - Ta bu shi da yu 02:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Recent changes as of 25/10/05

Changes to the article were made, namely a revert to the content that included Jeremy Sumpter, which was removed due to it being not enclyclopedic and/or doubted information. I reverted these... I hope there are no objections. Not only that, but things such as the article being stubbed correctly were lost... thus my revert. Deskana 21:50, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Simply not worthy of an entry

She is Sir Bob's daughter and has a column with a national newspaper. So what. This entry simply does not merit inclusion on such limited grounds. It should be merged with the entry on Bob Geldof.

So hop to it. → Ξxtreme Unction {yak yak yak ł blah blah blah}

[edit] Surely needs more content and to be rewritten?

I'm not sure what Peaches has done with her life but perhaps details of her early life should be in the article, rather than speculation about "suggestive comments" at Live 8?

Would a photo be possible if she is under 18? Or are there legal issues (other than copyright)? James.kendall 22:18, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newspaper reports Wiki Vandalism as fact!

A British tabloid paper, the Daily Mail has published an article about why Peaches Geldof hates her name.[2]

But they've falsely copied her name as it was on here for several months until corrected. Look at the page history before December 9th. Uberisaac 19:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• I'm not clear in what you're trying to say. Are you saying that Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof is her full real name and should be added back in? I saw that article in the paper today. Should we add it back in then? Deskana (talk page) 20:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It appears that whoever edited the page on dec 9th, removing the middle names, knew what they were doing. I couldn't say though who's correct. Uberisaac 13:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Considering googling her supposed name gives only results related to that news article, it seems they have just copied it off Wikipedia. Hehehe.... Deskana (talk page) 17:03, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Every other site except this one has her long name. I am thinking that the chances of Peaches having one middle name are very unlikely, considering the full names of her three sisters. I think that the person who edited it on December 9th either made a mistake or assumed she had one middle name like most people, without further looking into her family history with names of their children. And even recent news articles about her have her long name in them. As unusual as it may seem to the rest of us, I think that Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof really is her name. =) Stephe1987 11:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

When I originally searched for her full name on Google, all I got were copies of that news article and copies of the Wikipedia page... which lead me to suggest that it wasn't her full name. There are now more articles... but all information on Wikipedia must be verifiable per the WP:V policy so I'd like to see a reputable source for the fact that it is indeed her name? Thanks. His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 00:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but is the source that arbitrarily came in to delete names verifiable? I thought that Wikipedia's policy was to only make changes if the source was verifiable. And considering that all the articles written about Peaches (including ones written after December 9th) say that her name is the long one. Why would they all be wrong and this one unknown person be right? I mean, who are they? Where is their source? I don't even think people were using Wikipedia before, even if the name they used was on here, because they had Peaches listed as being 16 on their site when, at the time, this site had Peaches' age to be 14.Stephe1987 04:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of whether there was a source for the short name, we do need a source for the full name... if we can't verify the full name it's safe to assume that it isn't her name. His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 08:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so we obviously don't have a source for any of her names... I am going to take out her middle name and just leave it at Peaches Geldof until we find out for sure what her middle name(s) is(are). Otherwise this site is just being ridiculous. We really don't have a source for any of her names, and then some random person comes on here and takes out all but one of the middle names that used to be on here, most likely assuming that Peaches, like most people, has one middle name, even though her sisters all have several middle names. Maybe someone should write to Peaches at her fan mail address and find out for sure. Until then, we should only put what we know for sure: Peaches is her first name and Geldof is her last name. No middle names at all until Peaches tells us otherwise... I think that her name wasn't quite as long as it used to be (or maybe it was, but Peaches would know) but she has at least two or three middle names because her sisters all do. Stephe1987 22:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Some old news articles mention at least her first middle name like this bbc news story for example and this one as well as this ananova article, there's a small possibility the last might be sourced from wikipedia but the use of her first middle name is very widespread, there's no reason to leave that one out at the very least, the editor who removed them all is just quite wrong or misinformed.--Sully 23:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not misinformed. I removed them all because I was unsure which ones are her real names and which ones weren't. You might want to add those sources to the article. --Lord Deskana (talk) 12:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The edit was in bad faith and made without reading the previous discussion on the subject, I made the above comment in March. It's now cited.--Sully 13:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

My edit was not in bad faith, thank you very much. And people wonder why I contribute less nowadays... --Lord Deskana (talk) 13:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello - I saw Peaches being interviewed on The Richard & Judy Show (UK) a few months ago, Richard gave her name as 'Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof.' Peaches nodded in agreement, so it looks like that's her full name. So sorry if I've added fuel to the fire. Vicky (Dec 5th 06)

A guy on everything2 says that he and his friend added the extra names to this article as an experiment, ie, Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof are real names, but Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa are not.

• That information is sourced, maybe your guy on everything2 is talking crap? Jdcooper 04:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Socialist?

Is she a socialist or a socialite? I know Bob's a supporter of Labour, but if we ever see the Red flag flying over Buckingham Palace... Peaches will be one of the first to get hung from a lamppost. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.138.167.91 (talk) 14:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

If people keep changing that they will meet a swift and decisive end. This page is a magnet for vandals. I'm getting less and less reluctant about blasting people without warning if they vandalise it. --Deskbanana 16:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Socialism has nothing to do with hanging people form light posts, that would be more in common with fascism. Diabolical 21:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
