I have just started this article - so please bear with me. -- andreasegde ( talk) 16:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Good grief - Julia Lennon, Julia Dykins Baird, John 'Bobby' Dykins, John Lennon, Alfred Lennon... It makes my head whirl... -- andreasegde ( talk) 06:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
I think this article is still confusing to read, since there three Lennons: Julia, Alf & John. The article currently uses "Lennon" for John Lennon. Solutions? Perhaps list full name each time? Or outline the abbreviation, such as "John Lennon (hereafter referred to as Lennon)"? -- Design ( talk) 10:12, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
The childhood memories of Baird, and playing with Lennon should go in. It's a pity there isn't more biog info, but that will have to come out of the books. -- andreasegde ( talk) 08:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Very well-referenced. The only thing I would fix would be a few minor things. For one there is so much parenthetical info in the lead it gets a bit hard to follow sometimes. A copyedit by someone who wasn't familiar with the article would be good, but there are no obvious grammatical errors. It passes. Wrad ( talk) 00:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I read this: "where she drank cappuccino coffee in the Kardomah Coffee House, although Baird and her friends called it "frothy coffee" " Whilst it's definitely true that the term "cappuccino" was pretty much unknown in the UK until the 1970s, I would somehow doubt that they were actually being served cappuccino in the Kardomah (although they would be these days). I'm not trying to nit-pick here, but I would love to know the truth about what was in that coffee. I'm guessing more water than milk. Deb ( talk) 18:38, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
"Lennon started visiting the Dykins' house in 1951." Julia or John? And why? Kingturtle = ( talk) 13:53, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved. There is consensus that this article should be disambiguated due to a lack of primary topic. Consensus is less clear when it comes to how exactly to disambiguate, but no specific alternative was suggested at this time so I'm moving it as proposed. No prejudice against a future RM for alternative disambiguation (see also WP:NOTCURRENTTITLE). ( closed by non-admin page mover) BegbertBiggs ( talk) 23:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
Julia Baird →
Julia Baird (teacher) – No primary topic vs
Julia Baird (journalist).
Pageviews show John Lennon's sister ahead by a ratio of 3:2 to the journalist, and the journalist exceeds daily page views relatively frequently. The journalist has been edited more much frequently of late. Can't see an argument for favouring John Lennon's sister on the grounds of long term significance.
