-- Web Addresses -- I spent weeks looking for the management companies of these performers and they were all wiped in one day. Surely the public should know how to and have a right to contact the artist's management company? http://www.davidhullpromotions.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austenlennon (talk • contribs) 14:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Irish"?

This is *not* an attempt to reopen the whole history of Ireland and its relations with the neighbouring island, just a factual question: is Kielty a citizen of the UK, of the Republic or of both, and does he call himself Irish? Since NI is still formally part of the UK, and he works mainly in Great Britain these days, I would have expected him to be labelled British in Wikipedia, unless he himself prefers not to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.154.153 (talk) 05:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As he was born in Northern Ireland, he was born a citizen of the UK. He may have taken Irish citizenship subsequently as an individual. Indisciplined (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paddy Kielty has always regarded himself as simply Irish. He was recently on TV in Ireland coaching a team of Irish lads living in London play GAA against teams in Ireland. Moreover, a person born in Northern Ireland is not automatically a British citizen. They can choose British or Irish citizenship. If they choose an Irish citizenship they are an Irish citizen living under UK jurisdiction in Northern Ireland. It's what the GFA was about, after all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.19.96 (talk) 02:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

actually you are wrong someone born in Northern Ireland is automatically a British citizen, and they are entitled to choose Irish citizenship if they so want to it is not automatic, you cannot be born without a nationality that would be against International law so someone born in NI does not "Choose" their nationality they are born with British nationality then with the ability to choose to become an Irish citizen if they want to 2A02:C7C:4098:D700:819D:1E36:A612:2EDF (talk) 20:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dodgy wording

While I do not the trueness of He had no ties to any republican militant group, the way it is presented makes it sounds more like an apologia or that the fact is somehow surprising.

Nationality

As with many people from Northern Ireland the nationality with for Kielty is complex. I understand that there has regularly been an edit war about what to put for his nationality. According to interviews he describes himself as " I’m Irish and Northern Irish. Northern Ireland is part of the UK so that means there’s a part of me that’s British.". Interview link. At the time of writing another editor has put his nationality down as Northern Irish, I have cited a reference to this just because it's good to cite sources although I am aware this will likely be changed by other editors in the future. What does everyone else think would be best to put down as his nationality? C. 22468 Talk to me 13:45, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He has clearly stated on several occasions that he identifies as Irish, Northern Irish and a bit British, and since we're not going to put all three in the lead we just use the from Northern Ireland which is not subject to any dispute. His identification as all three is referenced in the article. If they come out and specifically say they identify primarily as X, then we can use that, but they haven't and we can't interpret a mention of one to mean that's their primary identification per WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS.
