Talk:Cliff Richard

Semi-protected edit request on 8 September 2024

{{edit semi-protected|Cliff Richard|answered=yes} Hi! Cliff Richard has had his songs Devil Woman and We Don't Talk Anymore catch regular airplay in the Yacht Rock music genre, so perhaps he could have Yacht Rock added to his list of genres as a consideration. Thanks! 2600:1008:B03C:20D1:481D:2CA6:321E:29AF (talk) 03:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You'd need to provide a reliable source for that genre. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Biography & reasons for departure for England.

It's said that following Direct Action Day (date not given), the family decided to emigrate to England.

Direct Action Day occurred in 1936.

Two paragraphs later, the family's date of departure is put at 1948 and the reason given as Indian independence.

Maybe both statements are true, but at the moment, it's a confusing read. Redpaul1 (talk) 13:35, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

According to the article at Direct Action Day, that occurred 16 August 1946, not 1936. Does that resolve your confusion? --Blurryman (talk) 16:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Does Cliff refer to himself as English?Halbared (talk) 08:29, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

I haven’t found any reliable source referring to Cliff Richard as "American" By contrast, he is consistently described as British, for example in Reuters. Xeno Lovegood (talk) 08:41, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

No, I've never seen him described as American either. Not even Indian. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:44, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Non germane. With Brits, some show a clear national preference to one of the home the home countries over the state (Sean Connery, Tom Jones etc), it may depend on if Cliff has expressed a preferred nationality.Halbared (talk) 08:52, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

His commercial success has been gauged largely in terms of record positions on the UK singles chart and the UK Albums Chart, his appearances on British television, and his representing United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:43, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

As usual this is a WP:UKNATIONALS issue. Personally I prefer British as it is the person's official nationality.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 09:24, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Delia Wicks

Delia was not an Australian dancer but was from Leeds and was in the Black and White Minstrels. He was in Australia when he wrote to her to break up. I had the privilege of knowing Delia and her mother. 2A00:23C5:E25E:5C01:249B:1BBD:1422:9C61 (talk) 19:22, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
