Claimed relationship to György Faludy

[edit]

The claim

He is the grandson of Hungarian-born poet, writer and translator György Faludy.[1]

is not supported by any references, so I am removing it from the article. Please feel free to reinstate if you can find a reliable source. The Parson's Cat (talk) 13:20, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source now inserted. (One of many; there is no uncertainty whatsoever on this score.) --User:Harnad (talk) 00:21, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I understand Hungarian, he is the grandson (unoka).
There is the book by Tanya and Alexander.Xx236 (talk) 12:30, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't obvious that the Hungarian source relates to the same "Alexander Faludy". (Even if this does turn out to be the case, you'd need a reliable source as a reference, and there would be a strong presumption in favour of the subject's privacy.)
Regarding the book, is there a specific chapter or page that says Alexander Faludy is the grandson of Gyorgy Faludy? If so, then it could be used as a reference.

To repeat, there are now abundant published sources confirming the fact that Alexander Faludy is the grandson of György Faludy; there is no uncertainty or ambiguity, and there are no privacy issues. There is likewise no doubt whatsoever that Alexander Faludy is an Anglican priest. It is absurd to restrict this article to the fact that he was a child prodigy, or that he was disabled, without making it clear what has since become of him. --User:Harnad (talk) 00:21, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
