Talk:1990 World Series Challenge

Event title
There's a picture of Wattana with the trophy on page 55 of the 8th edition of the Benson & Hedges Snooker Yearbook. The plaque on it is fully visible and says "555 World Series Challenge Winner". (No mention of "Hong Kong".) The book calls it the "555 World Series Challenge". Snooker Scene's report is headed with a "555 World Series Challenge" logo and the text "Snooker De Luxe from Wattana at the Hong Kong Hilton." The Times refers to it as the "555 world series challenge" (22 August 1990) and as the "World Series Challenge" (27 August 1990). The 1991-92 Rothmans Snooker Yearbook refers to it as the "555 World Series Challenge." I think it should be referred to as the "1990 World Series Challenge" in the article rather than the '1990 "World Series" Hong Kong Challenge' as it is at the moment in the lead.

 * Name has been changed by an IP editor again, to 1990 Hong Kong Challenge, so the article title and the article don't match. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The CueSport Book of Professional Snooker refers to the tournament as "555 World Series Challenge" (pages 60 and 159). BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * - do you have a source for this being called the "1990 Hong Kong Challenge"? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:32, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

1990 Hong Kong Challenge → 1990 World Series Challenge – According to the page history, this article was moved to the current title on the basis of an edit to the lead by an IP editor. Based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject, I think the name should be changed back. Some sources referring to the tournament as "World Series Challenge" are listed at the article talk page, and there is also discussion at the WP:SNOOKER talk page.

 * move Considering the IP in question is from a blocked user, we should have the name be World Series Challenge, unless anyone can point to an actual source calling it this.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:29, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
