Perhaps the article could include some information on how she was able to become deputy literary editor to the Sunday Times so soon after graduating. Die she know someone?
Our position on this matter is that if a reliable source verifies that she identifies as being Jewish (not "influenced" or the like) and if there is a consensus that her putative Judaism is relevant to her notability, then we can use this category. If not, not. -- John ( talk) 19:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Given that Lawson doesn't identify herself as Jewish, why such a proactive (and disproportionate) "calling out" of her Jewish ancestry in this Wikipedia article? Further, as you will note, references to "ancestry" are wholly atypical in the context of other Wikipedia articles on celebrity chefs. Which other celebrity chefs are given an "Ancestry" category? Are Christian celebrity chefs identified as such in Wikipedia? Shame on those responsible for Othering a Jew, yet again... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.111.222 ( talk) 23:34, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Why isn't there a proper Archive link "box" on this page? A short note in plain text is very easy to miss. Roger ( talk) 20:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Such a long article for someone whose only contribution to mankind is........cooking...........food! Oh and how could I forget, doing a lot of spoon licking. She is indeed a fine looking lady and her background is quite interesting, her family history etc., but why do we need to know all this when all we need to know is that she cooks. Her name could simply appear in a list of Renowned British Chefs: eg. "Nigella Lawson: Cooks and has published recipe books". Why so much information, how could this information in anyway have any encyclopaedic value. Wikipedia should redefine itself from an encyclopaedia to an '"Embraceopedia" a word that could capture the essence of the project, one which has articles on "anything" as long as the "something" is known and can be referenced!

We are told that Nigella does not use the title "honorable". This is true, but it is impolite to extend courtesy titles to yourself, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.26.92 ( talk) 10:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
In other articles, I have seen in the Spouse(s) section of the infobox the notation "his death" right after the year in which a marriage ended. I am reluctant to add it here myself because I fear there are guidelines for its use that I am unaware of. --anon. 71.183.133.71 ( talk) 23:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Shouldnt the article mention the verdict today?-- BabbaQ ( talk) 17:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
I see that there is no article in Wikipedia on Richard Hillgrove. In view of his importance, there should be one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.10.231 ( talk) 10:56, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Is it appropriate to be styling this article with The Honourable Nigella Lucy Lawson, when she does not use the courtesy title herself, as explicitly mentioned later in the article? Also, considering she turned down an OBE from the Queen, this further cements the point that she obviously does not care much for titles, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.242.158 ( talk) 00:00, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm a bit worried over that millionairess, she could be living beyond her means, see Nigella under pressure: Barred from the U.S., her TV show's under threat - and she can't stop spending. But freed from Saatchi's spell, she's starting to fight back.... Many human beings let material goods comfort them in adversity.
By any normal standards, Nigella ought surely to consider herself extremely wealthy. Yet apparently she is worried that she might be ‘broke’ by this time next year. I really hope for Nigella’s sake that all the stuff about overspending is tabloid hyperbola. The daughter of Nigel Lawson should understand the importance of balancing her budget. I know about abusive relationships, if you read, The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun you’ll see that. Charles Saatchi has lived with Nigella for 10 years and knows at least some of her weaknesses. Nigella is vulnerable if the difficulties are due to Saatchi’s actions behind the scene or if the problem is fallout from bad publicity. Either way she could end off forced back to Saatchi and losing the freedom she now values. If she overspends and her income drops to a half or to a third of what she expects she could be in trouble. If Nigella is sensible she should ask her accountants for a realistic, pessimistic evaluation of her likely income if things don’t go smoothly. Then she needs enough self-discipline to live within that estimate. If Nigella lives within her means Saatchi can’t get her and hopefully will get on with his life. If Nigella lives within her means and makes more money than the pessimistic estimate later she can enjoy quite a few expensive luxuries. We may improve this article by looking for evidence how careful Nigella Lawson is with money. Proxima Centauri ( talk) 16:30, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

This can be a form of subtle vandalism.
There are many photos of her that look far better than the ones in the article. 132.239.90.13 ( talk) 06:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
In this case, I would find the most unflattering photo possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.48.80 ( talk) 19:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Can folks remember that as an article about a living person, this article is subject to the provisions of WP:BLPSOURCES. My recent removal of poor quality sources from the article was an admin action. Please do not restore these sources. We cannot use them. -- John ( talk) 17:20, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
"Lawson had an established sense of cooking from her childhood, having had a mother who enjoyed cooking.[13]" This sounbds as sheer marketing/journalist bullshit, or an opinion at best. - and its reference is a newspaper.
Also theres hardly any substantial information included in the article. after reading it i still have no idea: -what made NL famous/memorable, -are her cookbooks good/bad/remarkable, etc. ( 80.98.212.141 ( talk) 16:16, 17 May 2015 (UTC)).
I simply wish to add a sentance to say that Ms Lawson announced the 12 point score in French. She was supposed to say it in English because she was speaking on behalf of an English speaking country, or at least keep it all in the same language. Also the first time a UK spokesperson has done such a thing and unlikely to be repeated, therefore I think it's quite a notable thing to include and it's only a short sentance. I don't see the problem. Cexycy ( talk) 00:40, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Sorry for my absence but I can reiterate and stand by what I originally said. This is a very significant issue for Eurovision especially when such a thing has never been done before and countless millions of people saw it and many recordings exist for the people who didn't. Therefore it is notable and can be supported, like any good matter in an article should be. 21:38, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

This source, used in the text, says 1960. This source, used in the infobox, is not available in Europe. But 1960 is also supported by biography.com, IMDb and marriedbiogrpahy.com. Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:31, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
