  • 09:1409:14, 2 September 2019 diff hist −371 Richard Desmond The Wiki copy presents Desmond's supposed dealings with Chanes as a matter of fact. The source provided, however, only states that there was "renewed concern" that these dealings took place. This would indicate that the claims are unproven, cannot be regarded as a statement of fact, and should therefore be removed from this page.

  • 16:2116:21, 14 February 2019 diff hist −328 Richard Desmond The source provided states that there was merely "renewed concern" that the dealings described here took place. It does not unequivocally claim that they happened, and does cite any factual evidence for their occurrence. Consequently, they should not be deemed factual - it would seem that they are based on unproven, unfounded rumours. Tag: references removed

  • 10:5110:51, 22 January 2019 diff hist −229 Richard Desmond The incident described here, involving Philip Bailey, is described as "alleged" in the source provided. Please note the phrase "The documents allege" when referring to Bailey's supposed assault. The incident has been cited as factual on this Wikipedia article, despite the included source pointing to the contrary. This provides sufficient doubt over the piece's credibility and therefore should not be included here.

  • 16:4816:48, 3 January 2019 diff hist −90 Richard Desmond While the included source states that Richard Desmond hired James Brown as a bodyguard, it states that he was "apparently" hired. The use of this word "apparently" would indicate that there is no firm factual basis for the claim, as it implies that the story came from hearsay or gossip. Consequently, the statement cannot be considered wholly credible.

  • 16:2316:23, 19 November 2018 diff hist −177 Richard Desmond Who is this "associate"? He or she is unnamed in the source provided. Furthermore, in the source provided, the cited delivery of cash is given no further credibility than "it is said." This is self-evidently mere gossip.

  • 14:5314:53, 9 November 2018 diff hist +1,250 Richard Desmond The accusation made by Sir Stephen Bubb that Richard Desmond and The Health Lottery are profiteering on the back of charities is demonstrably false. This is confirmed on page 4/28 of the included reference.
