Talk:Dave King (singer)

message: Took out the bit saying the IRA used to train in Beggars Bush Barracks since the suggestion that a terrorist organisation actively at war with the Free State of Ireland was allowed to train in Dublin is repulsive. It couldn't refer to the Irish Defence Forces since the barracks has been closed since the 1920s. 62.56.51.184 19:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Most of his biographical info comes from the band's DVD "Whiskey on a Sunday". I'm not sure how to cite this. 66.222.18.102 17:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The intro paragraph states, "He is now based in Los Angeles, California and is rumored to live in South Pasadena, California," however in the Roots And Early Life section it's claimed that he and Bridget "now reside in Ireland..."
Discrepancy, surely? Anylayman (talk) 19:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  As the English singer is now at Dave King (actor) and there are no other singers at David King, this should be moved to Dave King (singer). I will db-move it. In any case, the subject's nationality is American so it is simply confusing. Skyerise (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Put back to (Irish singer)

message: There has been a change to Mr. King's nationality that I think needs clarification as it does not have any citation and the reference for change given in the history section of the page seems flimsy when it comes to accurately portraying Mr. King's actual nationality. I have attempted to find any reference to Mr. King's nationality in both print and digital search but have turned up nothing. The change was perhaps made under the assumption that Mr. King has become a naturalised US citizen but there is no record of that being the case. I suspect that the change was made under the assumption that the following section of ContextBio guidelines was applied.
 where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable.
While this would make Mr. Kings nationality American by the guidelines, it does not actually follow the correct guidelines as the preceding part clearly states;
 In most modern-day cases, this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is a citizen, national, or permanent resident
Under this context Mr King would still be classified as Irish as he is a citizen and national of Ireland and while permanent resident does not quite fit the criteria as his main home appears to be LA from his own interviews, place of residency does not change the nationality of someone by the guideline standards. Just looking for clarification of this change before any further editing/revert is done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.86.222 (talk) 00:52, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article and the categories say he emigrated to the United States. He became notable after entering the US, with intent to stay, as the anecdote about not leaving the country as he didn't have his green card shows, which he eventually got so he is at least a permanent resident. The US is where he attained fame. Sure, he perhaps also has Irish citizenship, but that's not where he "made it". At least, that's how I see it... Skyerise (talk) 03:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

text: After due consideration, I have changed it to 'Irish and American'. Technically with the first band being in England, it should be 'British', but I'm pretty sure that would be even more controversial to some. Skyerise (talk) 14:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
