Picture?
editWould it be possible to get a picture of just Del Boy for this article? I don't know which one he is in the cast picture. 74.124.121.62 22:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I absolutely agree.. the sketch isn't distinguishable as him for a start. And as its a "character profile", it should have a picture OF the character surely! For anyone that wants to see him, heres a pic - http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/491/edimgsnn2423j26535577ade9.jpg 80.6.155.246 (talk) 12:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Living persons biography???
editHow is this a biography of a living person? I guess I´d always assumed that Del-Boy was a fictitious character.
Fair use rationale for Image:Only Fools and Horses 2.jpg
editImage:Only Fools and Horses 2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Article name
editI believe this article should be named 'Del-Boy Trotter'. Calling it Del Boy isn't specific enough for an encyclopedia and the correct spelling of the name is with a hyphen, as shown when Del writes the card for Granddad's funeral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HowardRob (talk • contribs) 19:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Agreed ^^ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.59.85 (talk) 20:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Family
editIs it not revealed on the final episode that Rodney is Del Boy's son? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.39.7 (talk) 20:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- are you joking? Rodney isnt dels son, it was revealed in 'Sleepless in Peckham' (the last episode), that 'freddy the frog' was rodneys father and not reg Trotter, they shared the same mother but not the name farther, actually making rodney not a trotter but a Robdal as freddy the frogs name was 'Freddie Robdal'. So no Del wasnt Rodneys father. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.64.14.35 (talk) 11:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Date of birth
editWhy do we have a date of birth for Del Boy when the article later goes on to point out the confusion over his actual age? Also, this might be slightly off topic (though it is mentioned in the article), but the school leaving age in England and Wales was not raised to 16 until 1973. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- Also added detail on the episode The Class of '62 which would suggest Del was born in 1946 or 1947. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- The 2010 prequel Rock & Chips also hints that Del was born in 1945. FlapjackStantz (talk) 21:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
petty criminal
editMany of the episodes have him handling stolen goods and the episode where Rodney fates a policewoman they say most of the stuff in the flat is stolen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.13.212 (talk) 09:57, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
