Chopper Read[edit]

G'day! This article is Australian. It's also complete crap. (Article in the first person, article in the style of the thing it's about, article with no comedy strategy except using "fuckin'" a lot.) I stumbled on it while purging links to an article that died at VFD. I'm inclined to put this one on VFD as well. Can you take it anywhere? Spıke 🎙️12:47 29-Jan-22
- As a fellow Aussie the whole lotta "fuckin'"s are funny as mate. Which, like you said, it was written in the first person. I don't know much about the bloke, except his whole criminal thing. I could either rewrite the article as if he is a legit author who writes novels about criminals, and all of his criminal behaviour is often attributed to him by people thinking that his "works of fiction" are real. Other than that, not really. You can list it on VFD and see what other people think of it. OnePunch

As a lifelong Yank, I can't tell whether that first sentence is a yes or a no! but the rest is pretty clear. If I list it, no one else will even see the potential for it that you do. (But if it's all fiction, then where's his ears?!) You could have a go at this, but I don't claim it's worth setting aside an article you actually want to write. Spıke 🎙️13:40 29-Jan-22
- As a Brit, might be funny if the criminals insist in talking the 'Queen's English'. It's the author who keeps bringing it back to crudity

Thank you for endeavoring to save this! However, I reverted your addition of {{WIP}} once, before you readded it. The article is now not a Work In Progress but Nominated To Die (VFD). If you are building a head of steam, rest assured I will not let a vote delete it from underneath you. Separately, however, the mirth of referring to the American "President" as Brandon has zero relevance to the life and times of Chopper Read. Spıke 🎙️02:06 30-Jan-22
