  • Should United Kingdom be linked in the hook? --kingboyk (talk) 20:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
    • @Kingboyk: Not necessarily per MOS:OVERLINK MWright96 (talk) 09:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
      • @MWright96: Maybe; but this wasn't the first live broadcast nine darter in the world so far as I know, only in the UK, so the UK is arguably a vital component of the hook (which would make it "particularly relevant to the context in the article" per the style guide). I'll leave the question hanging: I have no strong view either way :). --kingboyk (talk) 09:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:29, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
  • This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I don't think linking the United Kingdom in the hook is necessary. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but you have a note appended to the hook fact in the article which says it was not the first nine-dart finish to be broadcast live. Yoninah (talk) 23:25, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Yes. This is because the broadcasters Sky Sports and most print media stated that Taylor's nine-dart finish was the first to be televised live in history when it was not the case. These sources [1], [2], [3], [4] published years after the tournament make it clear that Taylor's nine-dart finish was not the first in to be shown live in history.

  • @Yoninah: I am unable to suggest another hook that would be fascinating. MWright96 (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Wait a minute. I have looked at this so many times that I'm not seeing it clearly. The hook and article do say broadcast live in the United Kingdom, as opposed to broadcast live anywhere. I apologize for the runaround. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
