Huh? The article says he played in the 1991 World Championship, I checked and he did, what more do you want? Szzuk (talk) 19:17, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

:: Comment - @Szzuk: besides the gettyimages and cuetracker.net (normal sport/game record), if you do find any other source stating the claim, do advise. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 19:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He played at the World Championship - the premier professional snooker competition in the world, he doesn't need references because it is a matter of public record, he passes notability cue sports by a mile. Szzuk (talk) 19:53, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think @Szzuk: is referring to WP:SPORTCRIT/WP:CUENOT. Prince of Thieves (talk) 11:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

:: Comment - @Szzuk: Wikipedia need WP:RS to gauge nobility for such it needs the source. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 10:22, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've added another citation (which, unlike CueTracker, isn't blacklisted). It shows that not only did he play at The Crucible, but that he twice got to the quarter-finals of ranking events. Narky Blert (talk) 13:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
