Actually, if Gareth wants to write [[List of meals eaten by Tony Bennett]],
using Bennett's diary as a primary source, then that's just fine with me.
I won't waste my time to work on it, but neither would I try to delete it.
The datum probably shouldn't be on the main [[Tony Bennett]] page,
but if the list were really short, then it might fit in there still.
