This is populated with a largely pointless list of people who often are nominal at best. The list should only contain those who are known significantly for their Irish Presbyterianism. Otherwise we might as well have a list for Irish left handed people.

That isn't entirely true, religion is important, it is doubly important in a place like Ireland where it is an ethnic marker: Iris Presbyterians are Irish, in the sense that an Irish Jew is Irish, but a large majority of them are also part of a discreet ethnic group, also in the same way as an Irish Jew. Some of these people are pretty marginal though, who knows or cares who Rev. Morrow is? It leaves out some of the genuinely eminent people who are or were Irish presbyterians. This page should just refer people to the category page I reckon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Belfastconfetti (talkcontribs) 19:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
