Robert Plant’s Wikipedia page spread false information about a fake Netflix series

(YouTube/The Late Late Show with James Corden)

For almost three weeks, Robert Plant’s Wikipedia article included a false claim that Plant had directed and narrated a Netflix series about his life.

From October 26 to November 12, the widely read Wikipedia article included obviously false information about an upcoming Netflix series starring Plant that it claimed was called “Robert Plant: Roots and Resonance”.

No Netflix series about Plant’s life has been announced. Plant is a frequent subject of misleading online posts that claim stories such as reunion tours or charitable acts. These posts typically direct readers to websites loaded with adverts and malicious software.

It appears the false information had been added to Plant’s Wikipedia article by a well-meaning editor who hadn’t realised the posts promoting the series were fake.

The material was only removed from Plant’s Wikipedia article on November 12 after LedZepNews edited the article to remove it.
