Image:Gordon Burns.jpgis being used on this article.

In addition to theboilerplate 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 withfair use.
Please go tothe image description pageand edit it to include afair use rationale.Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guidelineis 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion.If you have any questions please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page.Thank you.

Early life
[edit]The Messenger(based inBolton)heresays: "I come from Northern Ireland and attended a fairly posh school in Belfast called Campbell College."
TheBelfast Telegraphheresays: "Gordon himself was born at Wellington Park in Belfast, but when he was a child his family moved to Kent where he attended the local primary school and then went to the prestigious Dulwich College."
How can these two reports be reconciled?Martinevans123(talk)11:29, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Maybe mention Burns appearing in Half Man Half Biscuit's song "Joy Division Oven Gloves" in line "Nero fiddles while Gordon Burns"37.235.43.27(talk)09:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's a pretty fleeting mention, isn't it. Might be borderline non-trivial atAchtung Bono?But not here, I'd suggest.Martinevans123(talk)12:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
