Happy to review this article over the next few days. :) Idiosincrático (talk) 02:13, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Initial comments
 * Bleacher Report is not a reliable source and has been discussed many times as not an appropriate source for Wikipedia, please try and use something different where used. ✅
 * The Soccerway link in the External links section is already referenced in the article and should be removed from the section. ✅
 * References by The Athletic are subscription access, each reference needs to have the "URL access level" parameter set to "subscription" ✅
 * SPORTbible really isn't a reliable reference for Wikipedia and something else should be used. ✅

Honours & Statistics Once these concerns are met, I'll be happy with the Honours & Statistics sections, Ping me and I'll finish the review for the rest of the article. :) Idiosincrático (talk) 02:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Citation #73 (for the KNVB Cup), needs to have Nederlandse Omroep Stichting listed as the publisher. ✅
 * Citation #34, needs to have the publisher parameter as "PSV" or "Philips Sport Vereniging", anytime a club offical website is cited, the club name needs to be listed as the publisher. ✅
 * For the "Club statistics" table, each row/season needs to be cited individually per WP:FOOTY. For an example, see Martin Ødegaard's club stats table, each season is referenced. Soccerbase is a good citation as it has the full list of games for each season, works really well here. ✅
 * All comments have been addressed! For the career statistics section, I didn't use Soccerbase, but FootballDatabase.eu instead; my school-issued computer blocks me from accessing Soccerbase. Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:17, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

International career Personal life Early career & life PSG PSV Other
 * Cition #53, Ben Hayward, both names should be in the last name/first name parameters; they're both in last name. ✅
 * I know I didn't like the nos.nl before but I think it should be okay, I changed it back. ✅
 * Pretty happy with this section
 * Citation #61 (Puma), de-capitalise. ❌ — the Puma reference itself uses all-caps, so I just used what was on the article itself. Unless there's a policy against this, I see no issue with having a citation in all-caps.
 * Also just another thing, either translate every non-english title or none at all for consistency. I noticed a few references don't have translations and some do. ✅
 * I ran the citation and archive bots which fixed alot. ✅
 * Well written and cited. ✅
 * "Simons moved to French side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)" > Simons moved to French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ✅
 * Besoccer is not a reliable source, has been discussed a few times. ✅
 * "appearance of the 2021–22 season came in a 1–1 away draw to Lyon on" > appearance of the 2021–22 season came in a 1–1 away draw with Lyon on ✅
 * Other than that, really good. ✅
 * Can link AFC Ajax–PSV Eindhoven rivalry with "rivals" when discussing the 5–3 win over Ajax. ❌ — violation of MOS:SOB
 * "Simons scored a brace" > Simons scored a brace (two goals); the term brace isn't common and needs clarification. ❌ — a link should suffice here.
 * "order to finalize a" > order to finalise; spelt with an 's' in British English ❌ — see MOS:ARTCON. I happen to write in American English, and since this article is mostly written by me, let's keep it consistent as such.
 * Citation #44, club name needs to go into the publisher parameter ✅
 * Pretty happy with the rest of the 'club career' section.
 * Lead is neat, I might make some reference adjustments after these points are addressed then I'll make sure the GA is passed :) Idiosincrático (talk) 08:26, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * All comments have been addressed! I had to object to some of them, but I did the rest. Please ping me if there's anything else you need! Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:55, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

All done :) Idiosincrático (talk) 05:34, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
