name "Hugh" because a Peter Dennis was already an Equity member can be verified; that Peter Dennis blocked Peter Hugh Dennis's request to be allowed to retain his original name, by virtue of being the chair of the relevant committee, cannot be verified. The only source for that claim is Peter Hugh Dennis himself. Your failure to comprehend the point of the anecdote gives me very little confidence that you will understand this straightforward reasoning.

His anecdote is a funny story. Funny stories are not inherently encyclopaedic. Knowledge content must be verifiable, and in general, it must be verifiable by sources independent of the subject. A funny anecdote that cannot be independently verified is not valid encyclopaedic content. That he uses the

I'm not sure that "by virtue" is being explicitly claimed. It's just an anecdote, I'm not sure it necessarily needs to have any "point". You seem to be very keen to doubt my "understanding" of anything and to accuse me of "trolling", without any good reason. And yet you have total tally of 29

I came here to say the exact same thing. And if he's known for Dennis & Punt, he's surely better known for Mary Whitehouse Experience which was of course beyond argument the best thing on the telly when it was on (although had hot competition from HIGNFY).
769:
Unless there is a source for him stating that he has one (or doesn't have one), then it gets no mention in this article. Although it is widely known his father is a bishop, I'm not aware that Dennis has publicly said anything about his own beliefs, or lack of.
1003:
Sources that state the same thing as what he is claiming in his anecdote would verify his anecdote. Sources that do not say anything similar to his anecdote cannot be used to verify his anecdote. Are you trolling, or do you genuinely not understand that?
926:
Hugh Dennis telling an anecdote about himself does not constitute a reliable source. If there is no source independent of Hugh Dennis that verifies his claim, it should not be included. This is a very basic matter of encyclopaedic quality.
1226:
So just a few lines up the page, you thought that point was "quite obvious", even as you incorrectly described it, and now you think there is no point to the anecdote. Either you are just mentally all over the place, or you are trolling.
1453: 364: 153: 840:
I'd read that he lives in rural Sussex, and that was only a few years ago. I'd be surprised if he lived in Preston, Lancashire, when he works in London so often. I think that needs backing up with a source.
1077:
You think the point of the anecdote was that his actual first name is Peter? A fact that at no point, by anyone, has been removed from the article, or in any way questioned? You really actually think that?
1448: 821:
I've deleted this 16th July 2015 edit - I cant see any evidence anywhere that Hugh Dennis was a session player on "Would you. . ." or anything else. If its true then it needs to be referenced.
359: 274: 735:
I can't help feeling that there is more to Mr Dennis's career than Morris Dancing (even were it to have a good beat). Consequently I think the deleted material needs reinstating.
1458: 790:
Is he really 'best known' as being one half of Dennis & Punt? To be honest I'd never heard of the duo. I'd suggest he was known best for Mock the Week or Outnumbered now.

And yet, you thought that a bunch of sources that say nothing about Peter Dennis's claimed role in requiring Peter Hugh Dennis to use his middle name were relevant?
