Irish Canadian?[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Someone recently added this article to the category "Irish Canadians." Is this accurate -- is Sharpe part Irish? I realize that many Newfoundlanders have Irish ancestry, but the term "Irish Canadian" implies (to me at least) a far more recent link to Ireland. (Similarly, we wouldn't call someone from Ontario whose ancestors came from Scotland two centuries ago a "Scottish Canadian.") And is there even any source for the assertion that Sharpe's ancestry is Irish? Despite the popular misconception, just about as many Newfoundlanders came from South-west England as from Ireland. --WillNL 13:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually other articles related had disputed or possible origin categories. Someone put Zack Werner a Jewish Canadian (as also Jake Gold ,which I've deleted. Someone put Keith Macpherson a Scotish Canadian. Eva was put a Peruvian Canadian, Melissa O'Neill - .Eurasian, Billy Kiepart a German Canadian, Theresa Sokyrka - Urkranian orthodox.

The best one - Ben Mulroney put as Irish and Serbian

I've have some questions for several of them. I've deleted those from Mulroney, Werner and Gold. I haven't change those of the contestants yet

If you have Any doubts on a origin category for Sharpe, you can delete it --JForget 02:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting...I wonder if those tags were all added by the same person? The editor who added the Irish-Canadian tag to this article (or, actually, his sockpuppet) seems to have a history of making controversial racial/ethnic claims on Wikipedia, judging by his talk page. Anyway, I've deleted the tag. Whoever added it -- please feel free to add it back if you can cite a source. --WillNL 11:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WillNL, I've also though the same as your first comment - I rather put it if they were born in that country or was born from parents from that country's although I have realized that Mulroney's mother has a Russian-like name, but that doesn't make sense to put Mulroney as a Serbian Canadian. Although, on the flip side I would keep Eva in the Peruvian category since her father was born in Peru. I wouldn't put categories for heritages reasons such as Irish for the Newfoundlanders. Like I said it's the jugement of you folks to keep it or not. Although I'm quite surprise that he/she haven't put Rex Goudie as Irish (as he was from Newfoundland and maybe surprise he/she haven't put Eurasians as Rex is dating Melissa O'Neill that he/she put the Eurasians tag in O'Neill's article.

Now in a dark suit, Craig is performing the 17th century Irish classic “Danny Boy,” which was covered by Andy Williams to make it eligible for this show.

Zack: Zack says he was taken back to the moments of sixties TV (which is apparently a good thing). He adds that Craig shows “truth and honesty about yourself, and I’m so fantastically proud that you did that in that moment.” He recommends Craig’s fans vote early and vote often.

Jake: Jake thought that was a natural song choice for Craig, it’s a number the judges like to hear in the east coast auditions. Wow, I sure bet they get it next year! Jake adds, “Great job, at the end you brought it right home. It really connected.”

Sass: Sass says, “That was an absolutely beautiful, heartfelt, lovely performance. You’ll make my friend Suzanne cry!”

Farley: Farley says this is one of his favourite songs, and he “had Irish tenor-y thing happening.” He agrees it was a good choice for Craig.

Brian: THIS is what we’ve been missing from Craig! Craig was emotionally more believable and really showed off the purity of his tones. Perhaps his best performance in a few weeks, I think he locked up the Irish vote and issued a strong challenge to Tyler.

From Canadian Idol episode of September 4, the same featuring Tony Bennett.

But even then I don't think it will required an Irish tag
