I've reviewed the 2018 AfD discussion that ended in no consensus. Looks like a major concern there was around WP:CRYSTAL, which should no longer be an issue; and around WP:RS. I'll bear this in mind whilst reviewing.

References are a bit of a mess:

Billiards, World Professional; Association, Snooker - these need to be tidied up.

World Snooker and the WPBSA are distinct, but linked, organisations. Some of the references mention both.
initadmin ?

Some refs are incomplete, e.g. "Mohammed Abdelkader to replace Wael Talaat at the 2019 WSS ROKiT World Championship"." doesn't specify a website or publisher.
seniorsnooker.com doesn't seem to be a suitable source. Their about page says "It is not an official Seniors Tour site, it's a fan blog."
- Poo, I legit thought the Seniors Tour just had a poop site Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've done my best to replace this - now it only cites one very uncontroversial claim.
    - It's a strange one, this. It's published by Jason Francis, the creator and promotor of Snooker Legends, so not sure why he refers to it in those terms. I think it's passable as an SPS for the one instance it's still used, given that it's a statement of straightforward facts rather than opinions.

Images

I think "alt=photo" could be improved. Image is CC, caption and placement OK.
- Updated slightly Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Consider adding an image of White.

Overview

"an amateur snooker tournament that first took place in 1991" - suggest deleting amateur, as the next sentence says that the "event consists of amateur and professional players" (1991 was a professional event, so perhaps mention that.)
", it was the 10th edition" - I suggest "and the 10th edition" (or a new sentence)
"featured a 20 participants" - stray "a"
"Fourteen players were invited to play at the event, eleven by the WPBSA and four by continental governing bodies" - not verified by source used. Also, 11+4=15.
Probably helpful to readers to spell out what the EBSA, ABSF, CBSA and OBSF are.
- Done all Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

"White won the match in the next frame to complete a 5-3 victory and win" - could amend wording to avoid won/win

Main draw

Looks like some of the players should have flagathlete used, e.g. Abdelkader, Chen, Watson, Maas, Richards.
- Updated Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What's the source for the referee and the frame scores in the final?
- It's the same as the one for the draw. Click on the match and it shows you the results. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Lee Vilenski. Following the amendments, I'm happy that the article meets the GA criteria, so I'm passing it. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:16, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
