The David Royle with a TV career is definitely a different person. Martin Rathfelder 27/1/07

Reginald Hill's page has a link here: did David Royle play Sergeant Wield in the TV version of the Dalziel/Pascoe novels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julianmk (talk • contribs) 14 July 2006

Different David Royle, probably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.10.115.114 (talk • contribs) 21 July 2006

Yes. Though the actor was born in nearby Salford —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.16.22.18 (talk • contribs) 22 April 2007

Is the redirect appropriate? Disambiguation preferred?
As already noted on the talk page David Royle is the name of an actor who plays a recurring major character in the Dalziel and Pascoe television adaptation. I see that this article redirects to Fallowfield on the basis of a councillor for Fallowfield ward also being called David Royle. This redirect seems overly local to Manchester and a disambiguation page might be preferable. I would be bold and make the change but I thought it better to leave this message in hopes that anyone opposed to such a change could put their views before any decision is made one way or another.

 * Given that there has been no response I decided to be bold and change this to a disambiguation page. Currently David Royle (actor) is a redlink, though. Alex McKee (talk) 19:26, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
