– Only subject notable enough to have an article. Unreal7 (talk) 22:29, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support Reginald Turner (writer) → Reginald Turner, who is the sole subject of a Wikipedia article that bears this exact name. Oppose Reginald Turner → Reginald Turner (disambiguation) and propose Reginald Turner → Reg Turner since Reg Turner already redirects to Reginald Turner and "Reg" is the name form used by two of the disambiguation page entries.

Turner's death
[edit]In Pinorman, Richard Aldington states that Turner died of cancer of the tongue. Richard Aldington, Pinorman, Personal recollections of Norman Douglas, Pino Orili and Charles Prentice (Melbourne: Heinemann, 1954), 168. 2603:6011:6144:1E4D:9504:A0F8:20E0:6F5F (talk) 16:26, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Ignorance Regarding Parentage
[edit]"Turner never knew who his parents were, but was an illegitimate member of, and raised by, the Levy-Lawson family, owners of the newspaper, The Daily Telegraph."
Whilst the author of this part is correct on: "raised by, the Levy-Lawson family, owners of the newspaper, The Daily Telegraph." The statement: "Turner never knew who his parents were . . ." I believe to be incorrect.
In Bosie: The Story of Lord Alfred Douglas, His Friends And Enemies by Rupert Cooke-Croft published in 1963, on p.67
Cooke-Croft writes: "Turner was one of the illegitimate sons of the first Lord Burnham, who was the principal proprietor of the Daily Telegraph." Cooke-Croft somewhat staking his reputation on Reggie Turner being a son of the first Lord Burnham. I wonder, is it at all possible to change the incorrect?
