The following information about the published book Walter the Pigeon has been deleted by an editor on numerous occasions, despite my linking to the book's publisher's website (Trolley Books, which has its own Wikipedia entry) and the personal website of the author Barry Miles (who also has a Wikipedia entry) to verify its existence.
And in 2014 Trolley Books published Walter the Pigeon, the fairy-tale about a London pigeon's unrequited love for a beautiful French girl that Birch wrote as a teenager. [1] The leading counterculture writer Barry Miles attended the book launch. [2]

2014 saw Birch realise a long-held ambition when Walter the Pigeon...(unsourced) as well as a quote attributed to a living person that had no source, each of which are BLP violations as well as violating the WP:VERIFY policy and being promotional. The offerings have not improved since then. There is an WP:APPARENTCOI here that has not been addressed anywhere yet and probably should be; I will do that on the OP's talk page.
