  • 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)[reply]
  • @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.

  • 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)[reply]

Lead
  • Taylor made a nine-dart finish in the fifth leg of his quarter-final match against Mason, the first time the achievement had been broadcast live in the United Kingdom. — Is this correct? This article suggests one in 1984 and another in 1990.

Background

Round 1

Round 2

Quarter-finals
Semi-finals
Prize fund
  • 9 Dart Checkout ... Highest checkout: £0 — Is the inconsistency in capitalization (Checkout/checkout) intentional? And is there a point of listing the highest checkout as a prize category, if it didn't pay anything? Did it only not pay anything because there was a nine-dart finish?
  • Total: £75,500 — Does this intentionally omit the £100,000 for the nine-dart finish?
