[edit] The only one

Given that the other Nicholas Owen who currently owns the name link is a truly horrible substub (actually speedy deletable as spam, IMO, as it is a predicate nominative and an external link, even if it's not commercial in nature), I'd recommend that Nicholas Owen be turned into a redirect to this article and that there be a single line at the top or bottom saying, "For the contemporary newscaster, see" and then wherever we can move that horrible substub. (I really really think, in my heart, that we should 1: delete Nicholas Owen, 2: create it as a redirect, and then have done, as I see no edits on the current article nor any content there.)

I've no problem with that. I have no idea how famous the other Nicholas Owen is. I have no strong opinion on whether or not it should be deleted. I had never heard of him. Going to start on Ann(e) Line next, when I can decide how to spell her name. (There are different versions.) AnnH (talk) 15:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I have just made Nicholas Owen into a redirect to this article, and added a hatnote to the journalist. After that, I noticed this discussion, and am letting you know so you can sleep better. Chris the speller 05:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It took me a while, but I've changed that situation. I do not think that the news reader has priority over the martyr, except in a single nation and at present. Instead, I've made the general name a dab and made all others reflect that. Geogre 15:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
