message: Why is there a list of the various TV shows on which he's appeared as a guest? This is not interesting, noteworthy, or worth of being in Wikipedia. I'd delete this lots out of hand, but imagine a fan or bot would simply undo straight afterwards.
Okay.... I've removed that dross, and had a bot put it back. I've removed it again.

thread_title:  Guest on various TV shows. Really? 

message: First of all, I'm Italian, I was born and bred as a Roman Catholic, I personally don't follow any form of established religion, I'm just trying to be honest and state something equally honest as seen from outside the British Isles.
The man was born and bred in Belfast, hence he's Nothern Irish, hence he's British, unless I wake up tomorrow morning and find out Northern Ireland has moved to the "Republic".
The only way he could be Irish is by having filed up for an irish citizenship and thus owning an irish passport too.
No way he could legally call himself Irish, although he most probably feels as such.
Have you ever asked, say, Sir Sean Connery whether he's British or Scottish? He'll probably tell you he feels Scottish at heart, not British and claim for Scottish independence, but he is legally still British, no way out. 
What about Tom Jones? Would you ever write "Welsh" under his nationality spot??? Come on, be serious and don't bring religion or nationalism into matter... this Irish-British thing up there is so ridiculous and yet so dangerous...

::1) Northern Irish people are not necessarily legally British.
::2) Recalling your Scottish or Welsh anecdotes are useless in the situation of Irish nationality, as Northern Ireland has a very unique arrangement between two sovereign states.
::3) Due to NI's unique situation, we cannot assume Holmes is British or Irish unless there is evidence one way or the other.
::4) I suggest removing the Nationality in the infobox unless there is solid evidence one way or the other. It isn't required, and in Northern Irish circumstances it seems to exist only to 'claim' a personality for one side or another.BananaBork (talk) 22:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

message: While most people would agree that EH is a fat tax dodger, he is not best known as a conspiracy theorist. He simply made some ill judged and irresponsible off-the-cuff comments on daytime TV, for which he is receiving an appropriate bollocking. Putting 'conspiracy theorist' in the infobox violates WP:WEIGHT. --Ef80 (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conspiracy theorist 

message: There seems to be a dispute about Eamonn Holme's nationality. I have changed it to say Northern Irish from British-Irish as I believe it's the best for the following reasons.:
*In a NI Connections interview he said "I am a Belfast man first and a Northern Irish Man second"
*In interviews and news reports he is normally described as Northern Irish. Newsletter Interview Belfast Telegraph article Irish News article.
*On his personal Cameo account he describes himself as "I’m Eamonn Holmes OBE, Northern Irish broadcaster & journalist." 
I therefore think that Northern Irish is the best way to describe him. C. 22468  Talk to me 17:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
