Different page needed?

It seems the article is a little too saturated with loyalist content.Perhaps another page relating to the loyalist culture in Tobermore would be more appropriate?DColt (talk) 18:17, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Depends on what your definition of "loyalist content" is for if you look at the article there is only one section dedicated to loyalist culture in Tobermore and it only contains four paragraphs and is hardly saturating the article. Content wise and notability wise definitely not enough befitting an article of its own. I can't help the fact that the village and surrounding area, other than a few Troubles related incidents, has had no nationalist/republican history to help counter-balance the Protestant/unionist history of the place. Some places are just that way. Mabuska (talk) 11:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
Just to point out - as far I can find there are no notable people of nationalist/republican view/action from Tobermore. The local chapel for any Roman Catholics lies in another parish altogether and as such there is no GAA club in the area. There is also no AoH branch for the same reason. It must be one of the few areas in County Londonderry and western Ulster that is like this. If you can find evidence to the contrary then please add it in. I may be able to expand the IRA's attempt to blow up the Moyola Bridge but that would be about it. Mabuska (talk) 11:33, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
