What I think should be changed: change 'Scottish Rock Band' from the sub header when you search for Snow Patrol via the search bar on Wikipedia. 'Scottish band' appears as a dropdown when you search for the bands name and before you click to be taken to their Wikipedia page.
Why it should be changed: the band are not a Scottish Rock Band, they are from North Ireland and this needs to be amended to say 'North Irish Rock Band'. They were founded in Scotland but very proud of their Northern Irishman.
The members were born in Northern Ireland, but the reason why it is Scottish is because all of the members at the time officially formed the band in Dundee, Scotland in 1994. There are other sources out there that refer to the band as both "Northern Irish" and "Scottish" at the same time, though to be honest, I do not feel like anything really needs to change yet until a consensus can be reached regarding the band's nationality in the lead section.

Not done for now: consensus would be needed before implementing a potentially controversial change like this. Kline • talk • contribs 16:13, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
