Why are we again using the Irish times to smear English people? Would it be appropriate to smear Irish people with quotes from English newspapers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240f:ca:2ce5:1:395c:97e8:c483:6906 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you think it's an unreliable source, take it to WP:RSN. Until such time that RSN has a RfC on it and there is consensus that it is unreliable it shows every sign of being reliable. TarnishedPathtalk 05:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing in the Irish Times piece cited is even remotely a smear. AndyTheGrump (talk) 08:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He can be both, so lets go with what RS say. Slatersteven (talk) 14:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So I guess that's going to be non-UK RS, as UK sources typically don't need to use either? Or are perhaps just too embarrassed. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:35, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Always best to use nationality, so British. Though, didn't I read that he had Irish background....? Emeraude (talk) 15:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"He says that his parents were Irish immigrants"? If we believe him, then that might open up a whole new fresh can of nationality worms? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:44, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
