Looking forward to picking this up in the next few days. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 19:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, did you have any comments for me? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, very sorry about the delay, this is high on the list! Apologies, unexpected wikiwork has come up recently but this is a priority. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 19:32, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * No pressure on this, but did you have anything for me? Uni work is much more important, so don't worry if it's a drama. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:38, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this article to be a good article. Apologies for the lengthy delay. I have gone through the article and its sources a few times, and will be posting my notes soon. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 08:39, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Blockers
These are questions that I would like to be answered before promoting the article:
 * "The World Snooker Tour in the 2019–20 season consisted of a field of 128 professional players." -- Why the source discrepancy between the two sources? Is it that the first one is comparatively outdated?
 * That's right. I've removed it. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * In the calendar, Shoot Out - what is the source for this being 1-0?
 * So the ref comments that he won a one-frame match. I can find an additional source that states this if you'd like. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * That's OK! KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:30, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * "Austria, the first time in any snooker season" - source? Is this repeated in the body somewhere? I didn't spot it at a glance.
 * Apologies, looks like I either removed it or forgot to compile it. I've added it into the season summary. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it generally accepted practice to rank players by number of wins, and then by number of runner-ups? If so, is this documented somewhere?
 * It's generally how these things are done in the real world, but I don't think we have a MOS. I could remove the ranking column, if that would make you happier? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, that should be OK. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:30, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * How did you choose what counts as "major invitational events"? Is there a generally accepted list somewhere? (potential NOR/SYNTH?)
 * It's just a list of the ones that the World Snooker Tour either run, or are associated with. This is a copy of the calendar that they provide. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm still vaguely uncomfortable with this, as there are events on the cited calendar (such as the Q School) that aren't listed, which could be a NOR issue as I'm not sure how the inclusion criteria was decided. But it's not a big enough NOR problem to hold the article back, as the information that is present in the article is verifiable. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:34, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Suggestions
These suggestions are not blockers to promotion:
 * I strongly suggest using the abbr template on the World ranking points table especially, and also the Calendar. (this caused me quite some confusion when first reading)
 * "The 2019–20 snooker season was a series of professional snooker tournaments played between 9 May 2019 and 22 August 2020." - worth commenting on how this was longer than normal?
 * "tour card" - consider defining this, perhaps parenthetically, first
 * Why list just the two-season tour card players and not all the players?
 * calendar table - link the redlinked Challenge Tour events to 2019–20 Challenge Tour, perhaps?
 * "Judd Trump won six tournaments, the most in a single season" -- consider "the most of any individual player in a single season"
 * consider moving footnote 44 to the end of the paragraph, because right now it's not clear that 45 is verifying the entire paragraph
 * Suggest c/e on note 1 to "First round losers in the Shoot Out, Coral World Grand Prix, Coral Players Championship and Coral Tour Championship will receive their prize money in full; however, this money will not count towards the prize money rankings."
 * Suggest c/e on note to to add a period at the end.
 * If you have time, I'd prettify the references a bit -- "Archived copy" as the page title is a bit uneasy, for example.
 * I spotted a non-MOS:DASH-compliant "4-0"; haven't had a chance to search for other occurrences but good to look out for. Added KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:26, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Assessment
I am passing this GA. Congratulations on your successful nomination! I would still encourage looking at the other suggestions; though not blockers to GA status, they may be helpful in improving the article. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:37, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
