Questionable[edit]

Doco was not the first person to be killed by loyalist paramilitaries in ROI since 1975. What about Eddie Fullerton?--MarkyMarkDCU (talk) 10:38, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Moved as clear/uncontested consensus has been established. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Music1201 ^talk 03:11, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

– Page view data from the past 12 months clearly shows that even with the disambiguated title, most of our readers are looking for Martin Doherty (musician). It seems clear that the Irish republican cannot be regarded as the primary topic. PC78 (talk) 18:27, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Given the article traffic statistics provided above. Meatsgains (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PC78: Please make sure all the incoming links to Special:WhatLinksHere/Martin Doherty are fixed. Thanks. Jenks24 (talk) 08:33, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I've fixed a few links, looks like most of it has already been done. The onus is really on the page mover to do the necessary cleanup though. PC78 (talk) 14:54, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
