- it's new enough and long enough. Please just format the references. Some author names are missing while they exist. Also, is vimpsatthecrease.com a reliable source? Shahid • Talk2me12:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
vimpsatthecrease.com is written by Mike Vimpany, who is a local sports journalist that has written for many local papers [2], [3], [4] on sports particularly cricket. I don't see that this website is any less reliable than any of those local papers
And author names are not a DYK requirement, and what is the point of adding the names of non-notable people to sources? At the moment, all the article sources look tidy, but if some have author names at the start, and others don't, then the reflist looks messy. And there is no DYK requirement at WP:DYKRULES or WP:DYKSG that even mentions this, and I've never been asked to do this before. So I see it as a preference rather than something which can stop a DYK running. Joseph2302 (talk)14:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Joseph2302, I didn't say I'd stop the running of the DYK, but I find it ironic that you're choosing to prove the reliability of vimpsatthecrease.com by providing the name of the website's author but then refusing to add authors where available. I wonder what you mean by saying it is not a DYK requirement - it is a WP policy, and the DYK criteria clearly require adherence to "core policies and guidelines, and in particular: ... cites sources with inline citations". A byline is very important particularly for the hook, in my opinion, but I might be wrong about it if you feel so strongly about it. I'll consult someone, if you don't mind.
