Talk:Tony Ryan

Dr or not Dr

I'm reverting the addition of the prenominal Dr since, as indicated in the article, Tony Ryan is the holder of an honorary degree from several institutions. As described there, with very few exceptions, the honorary degree does not sanction the use of Dr. in the person's name. I'm not aware of Ryan having earned a PhD or equivalent academic degree; perhaps others have more info.

There may be situations, where the individuals improperly use the honorific themselves, as in the case of Ian Paisley, for example. If Tony Ryan was in the habit of doing the same, then WP should probably indicate it. But we shouldn't 'automatically' assign the Dr. prenominal here, even if some of the mainstream media do so. Otherwise, for consistency within Wikipedia, we'd have to do the same for Dr. George W. Bush (Yale), Dr. Ronald Reagan (Galway), and Dr. Terry Wogan (Limerick), among many others.
