Ben "The Miner" Healy

Okay. Had a largish poke around and can't find any source online for "The Miner" being Ben Healy's nickname, as is listed within this article minus any citation. Hoping OP or someone similarly clued in will read this and furnish a linked, reliable source in support.

For now, as much as I suspect there might be some shenanigans at play, will leave nickname in place and forego adding a citation needed tag directly within the article. Because maybe "The Miner" really *is* Ben Healy's nickname. And if "The Miner" actually *isn't* his nickname, maybe it should be.

Some measurable likelihood that I return within the next few days or so having changed my mind. By which I mean: Citation needed. Iandiareii (talk) 23:35, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit at T+17 hrs.: Nickname removed from article as "unsourced" by thoroughly experienced editor 'Seacactus 13' roughly 15 hours after I wrote the above comment. Lightning fast. Correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iandiareii (talk • contribs) 17:28, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
