Hello Stephen Manger, thanks a lot for your submission: regarding the enquiry, I believe the BBC link already available covers it nicely already. As for the other elements you suggested, it looks like we are missing verifiable sources for them. By "reliable sources", I mean to say that a good way to know which elements can make it into a Wikipedia entry is to ask whether someone else (ie not Ms.Taylor's employer) found it significant already: this is why we prefer secondary (e.g. BBC) sources to primary ones (e.g. Notthingham enquiry's official website). This would typically be what we see when a profile is written in the press. Hope this helps, Superboilles (talk) 18:29, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
