[edit] Weasel words in criticism section

What critics argue? Let's remove weasel words and add in inline cites - not just here but to the whole article. Chupper 14:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability?

I'm not sure whether the article successfully describes how the subject is notable on their own. The heart of this article is about the person's relationship with Bono, and if this were the element that made the subject notable, it could better be folded into the article on Bono. Without this section, what would be left is the trivia section and a few other lines. This suggests to me that the article needs to be shored up to establish notability, or else should be folded into Bono. Please post your thoughts here, particularly with reference to the Wikipedia guidelines on biographies. --Zippy posted 01:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC), updated 6:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Article definitely needs to be worked on, but I would not turn into a section in "Bono". That would be too confusing. I'll see what I can do to it over the next few days. Chupper 22:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 04152007 Edits

I've hopefully confirmed notability through the multiple references added. I've also reworked the sections - adding several and removing trivia. I've also removed two categories, Irish feminists and Irish anglicans. I didn't find any references for that anywhere. I also moved the page per Wikipedia's common names policy.
