1985 World Snooker Championship final
The 1985 World Snooker Championship final was held between Taylor and Davis and is widely considered the most well known snooker match of all time. This good topic covers the two competitors, the article on the final, and that of the event.

Please note - I have never written a good topic before, so please let me know if I've done anything wrong. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:02, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Support: The scope makes sense to me. The articles are all joined by wikilinks and mostly by navboxes, and they're all directly or indirectly in Category:World Snooker Championships. Looks good! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 18:25, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per Bryan. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:45, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose IMO the article about the referee, John Williams (snooker referee), is also needed. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I disagree to a point - but I'm not 100% on the criteria. You could make the argument that there's others, such as the commentary team that would be also suitable, but a little irrelevant to the final itself. We don't have a similar match type GT or FT to match with this, but especially in snooker, the referees job is quite passive. Open to fixing up the article though.

 * I've done a bit of a tidy on that article. I can't find much else on them, right now it's only slightly better than a stub. They are obviously a big deal in terms that they had taken charge of nine world finals, (and the rain incident) but there isn't much else. Might be some paper citations out there, but I'm not sure this can be beefed out too much. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * - I don't know the rules around this, but John Williams (snooker referee) is now a GA. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support if the referee is included in the topic. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Support I would have been happy to support without the referee being included, per Bryan. However, it seems reasonable to also include John Williams (snooker referee) in the topic. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:38, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support All articles are at either GA or FA level. Nice to see a novel topic at GT. MWright96 (talk) 07:31, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * - I'm not familiar with this process, do I need to gain more input on this, or do these stay open for a specific amount of time? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:36, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
