This should not be part of Wikipedia Project Spain as Roland Orzabal has absolutely nothing to do with Spanish culture. --La Guiri 23:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does anybody have any better pics of Roland that they can upload? The current one's a bit crap. 80.41.109.115 (talk) 05:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Born and Raised

[edit]

Overall to me it appears Roland Orzabal was born in Portsmouth, brought up until he was a teenager in Leigh Park, Havant, then moved to Bath. An 'opinion' article in the local newspaper mentions born and raised in , Havant; as do several other sources including IMDB. Still others mentioned being raised in Leigh Park. Overall a reliable and accurate citation is probably needed.Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:51, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

it was me who added the source @Djm-leighpark:. how do you even approach a figure like roland? i feel so bad. i saw snaps of him the past few years and he unfairly looks like he aged a decade after losing his wife.
in the words of robbie, when you carry the weight, it's so difficult. all i know is i wouldn't be who i am without roland.
and i need permission so NLA can reproduce the sheet music for seeds :p
he's such an intimidating figure. and i shouldn't be. but i am. and i know he wouldn't want me to be. but he's roland. "natural causes" my a.

what would you say, if you could talk to roland (maybe you have). i don't know. they banned him on twiter. the world is fucked up.

To add to article

[edit]

To add to this article (to make it properly encyclopedic): information about Orzabal's heritage. Is he of Basque (Spanish) ancestry? If so, why is there not a single word about this mentioned in the current version of the article's text? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 19:25, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity and descent in biography articles need to meet the criteria listed at WP:EGRS and WP:CONTEXTBIO. You may also find this essay interesting.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:40, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
