Talk:2022 Welsh Open (snooker)

Image of venue?
The image posted doesn't look anything like the venue? Please Google ICC Wales. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 13:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The International Convention Centre Wales is within the Celtic Manor Resort, which is what the image is of. I am there tomorrow, so I was going to get some images. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:56, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Great — hope you enjoy, and will look forward to seeing the images! HurricaneHiggins (talk) 14:05, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No issues. I am very much hoping we can get some decent images - it's a bit gloomy always using images from from 2015! I did get some for the Masters earlier this year, but weren't quite as good as I'd hoped.
 * Good work with the summary updates. As I'm actually getting to this one, it's going to be a bit higher on my priority list to get up to standard. It's a bit odd we don't have any free images of the ICC, so this will have to do, unless I can get a decent one tomorrow. Have a great day. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, good luck capturing the images! Maybe you can get some updated shots of the players as well. And thank you — let me know if you have any thoughts on what the article needs. Have a great day too! HurricaneHiggins (talk) 16:12, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I hope I can! Not sure how convenient it will be, nor who's going to be playing, but we'll see. Article probably just needs some fine tuning, but can be done when it's over. It'll need some images, but see what I can muscle together. If not, we can do it after the event is over. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:26, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Excellent -- sounds like a plan. Enjoy your time there tomorrow. I'm envious! HurricaneHiggins (talk) 16:37, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Just got back to the hotel from the venue. Really good day out (very long mind). The images I got will go on commons, but there wasn't really much of an opportunity to get a decent image of the players. However, I did get a few of the ICC and how the venue looked, which I'll get up and active as soon as I get time. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 23:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * So glad you had a good day! Delighted you got some of the ICC and the venue -- will look forward to seeing those. Some exciting quarter-final matches yesterday so delighted you got to be there for the occasion. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 11:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

- indeed. The venue is a good shot, I did get a couple. I don't know if you go to live events, but I'd recommend it. Newport is only about an hour and a half drive from me, so worked out good. Tickets were £35 all in for me and the wife for all day. Vafaei and Lisowski were the guys I wanted to see and they didn't disappoint. I'm going to put out another plea for images on Reddit again (I do every six months or so, sometimes get some images), and email WST to see if they might agree this time!

 * I've gone to a few live events but have not had the opportunity in some time. That's a very reasonable price for two people all day long! Glad you saw Vafaei and Lisowski -- two exciting comebacks in those matches. I'd hope Reddit or WST would yield some images. Maybe even contacting players directly over Twitter would help? One would think they would be happy for the publicity. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

"held-over" linked but not explained
There is a link to "held-over" in the lede but I can't find an explanation of the term in the linked article. I see an explanation in the summary section but as someone unfamiliar with snooker, it would be nice to see an explanation in the lede or properly linked in the lede. -Eóin (talk) 01:51, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

2022 Welsh Open (snooker) → 2022 Welsh Open – Unnecessary parenthesis disambiguation. Moving to "2022 BetVictor Welsh Open" seems also fine to me. PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:19, 18 November 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Sceptre (talk) 14:09, 10 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose - there is a Welsh Open (darts) - and the format of (snooker) in titles matches with recent year's articles. 148.64.9.75 (talk) 11:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * As long as there isn't a "[...] (darts)" with the same name, this disambiguation is not needed. PhotographyEdits (talk) 11:41, 18 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support (slightly). I can understand why  thinks that (snooker) should be removed. The other side of the discussion is that in golf there is also a Wales Open, although there is no 2022 Wales Open article. So on balance I agree, although to be consistent with every other Welsh Open snooker article from 1992 Welsh Open (snooker) to date, should also be renamed without the parenthesis. I would not agree with it being renamed "2022 BetVictor Welsh Open", as the other convention is snooker competitions in Wikipedia is not to include the sponsors name, hence, the 2022 Masters (snooker) is not called "2022 Cazoo Masters". I would say Welsh Open (darts) is a very minor sports event (compared with the snooker event or the golf) which is not even organised by the main professional body (Professional Darts Corporation).

 * Comment, generally we'd want to keep these consistent every year. I'd argue that this isn't necessarily the primary topic, considering there is a darts event and also a golf event as a part of the 2022 European Tour. I'd be happy if it's deemed the primary topic, but it'd have to be the same every year.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:45, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose it is (snooker) not golf, darts etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose: There are far too many too-narrow article titles on Wikipedia now. All tournament articles without really distinctive names should include a reference to the sport or game being played. --Minturn (talk) 22:26, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Support, no other article has the same page name on English Wikipedia so it's PRIMARY.--Ortizesp (talk) 21:50, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Support since the darts event doesn't have individual year articles, there's nothing this is really ambiguous with. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:12, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Obviously requires disambiguation as snooker is not the only sport in Wales. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:42, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It's worth noting Andrew this isn't about snooker in Wales, it's an international snooker tournament held in Wales.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
