Simon Harris (politician) → Simon Harris – The incoming Taoiseach is obviously the primary topic over the musician; disambiguation page doesn't need to be kept per WP:ONEOTHER Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 13:42, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. The prime minister would be primary over the musician, paired with Simon Harris → deleted to make room for move. A hatnote pointing to the musician will suffice. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support joining the pile-up. Head of government in an EU member state is worlds ahead in importance than a DJ who had some minor hits in the late 1980s. Unknown Temptation (talk) 10:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, though it might be worth keeping the disambiguation page as it has similar names in the see also section.

News article claiming Harris is half Jewish

I found this article claiming Harris' mother is Jewish. I was about to add that information to the early life section, but then I realized there was something wrong with the article. It was either written by AI or just a very confused person, because it seems to talk about the Irish PM Simon Harris and American writer Sam Harris as if they were the same person.

The reason I mention this is because someone will probably find that article and try to use it as a source. Don't do it. Guyermou (talk) 18:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not even worth talking about. Just another random website written by nobodies trying to put together an article about somebody in the news. The website and author are nowhere near credible. Not everything on the internet is true. Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
