Talk:Nicky Ryan

Belfast?

I heard he was from Belfast. Can anyone verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WildlifeAnalysis (talk • contribs) 19:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Roma is from Belfast and Nicky from Dublin. They are married and live bordering Killiney, probably Artane.--Theosony (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Roma

They are not married - he already had a wife when he met Roma and they live in Killiney —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.173.102.220 (talk) 13:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Gary Moore?

I see zero connection between Nicky Ryan and Gary Moore in Discogs. According to an Enya interview (http://enya.sk/2012/06/interview-with-nicky-ryan/), Nicky briefly ran stage sound for Gary, but soon quit. Although they may have been friends and socialized together, it seems iffy to say Nicky gained "initial recognition" for "work" with Gary Moore, at least compared to his many credits with the other listed artists.

Proposal to convert "Nicky Ryan" to disambiguation page

Hello fellow editors, I propose converting this article into a disambiguation page, as there are now two notable individuals named Nicky Ryan: Nicky Ryan (musician) - Irish music producer and arranger, best known for work with Enya Nicky Ryan (grappler) - American Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and professional no-gi grappling competitor Rationale: The grappler Nicky Ryan (born 2001) has achieved significant notability in combat sports: Youngest male athlete to compete at ADCC World Championships (2017, age 16) 2019 ADCC West Coast Trials champion (66kg) 2019 IBJJF No-Gi World Championship silver medalist Multiple Polaris Invitational champion Extensive coverage in specialized media (FloGrappling, BJJ Heroes, etc.) Co-founder of B-Team Jiu Jitsu Both individuals meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines through independent reliable sources. Neither appears to have sufficient prominence over the other to claim "primary topic" status under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Proposed structure: Move current article to "Nicky Ryan (musician)" Create new article at "Nicky Ryan (grappler)" Convert "Nicky Ryan" to disambiguation page Proposed disambiguation page text: Nicky Ryan may refer to: Nicky Ryan (musician) (born 1949), Irish music producer and arranger Nicky Ryan (grappler) (born 2001), American Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor ~2026-16034 (talk) 17:24, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

• Support as proposed. Both guys have extensive media coverage. Binksternet (talk) 20:19, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
