Mr Livingstone, I presume?

As discussed in the DYK nomination, I have removed the Forbes source from the article because its photograph shows a different Ian Livingstone. It's quite a common name - the former head of BT has a similar name too - and so we must take care to avoid such confusion.

I also propose that we split the article so that each brother has his own page. This would be better because we shouldn't want the biographical details of one brother to be too closely mixed with the other. This might also lead to confusion and is also problematic if there are any negative points. Andrew D. (talk) 14:00, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of your hard work on this. I've just created Richard Livingstone (businessman) and will do the same for Ian. Then I'll seek to address your other concerns. Edwardx (talk) 10:45, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
