Created by Empire AS (talk), DT Truth (talk), Fade258 (talk), Tahaaleem (talk). Nominated by Empire AS (talk) at 09:13, 17 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@Empire AS: I am not going to spend my time editing this as I did Galle Gladiators in 2020, but please look at my edits on that article to clarify the numbers you're using in the Season Summary here. Please link cricket terminology on the first mention, and avoid slang language, as in the very first sentence of the Season Summary. Thanks. Yoninah (talk) 21:35, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it looks like another editor has been editing this. I did additional copyediting and I think the text looks good now. I would like to look at the other cricket articles that you've nominated and then make my suggestion for a multi-hook here. Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, thank you. I've been waiting for a long time. Thanks Empire AS ^Talk! 06:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Awaiting changes to the charts per discussion at Talk:Galle Gladiators in 2020#Article issues. Then this will be incorporated into the multi-article hook suggestion. Yoninah (talk) 11:19, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here is my suggestion for a multi-hook. The hook facts have to be cited in at least one of the bolded articles, which I believe they are:
ALT4: ... that the Jaffna Stallions took home the trophy for the 2020 inaugural season of the Lanka Premier League, besting the Galle Gladiators, Dambulla Viiking, and Kandy Tuskers, though they failed to record a win against the Colombo Kings? Yoninah (talk) 21:53, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, the hook looks fine and alright to me. Thank you. Empire AS ^Talk! 07:21, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that, as the currently-proposed hook has five bolded links (meaning you will hit 5 DYK credits with this one hook), the next time you nominate an article for DYK, you will be required to perform a QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: four of the articles were nominated by one editor, one by another. They're still working out the charts on all 5 articles, but when that's finished, I'll incorporate all the articles onto this template and do a full and detailed review. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Galle Gladiators in 2020 is~~All 5 articles are now at AFD. Yoninah (talk) 18:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Dambulla Viiking~~All 5 AfDs are now closed. Empire AS ^Talk! 06:52, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We are combining the five DYK nominations onto this one template per Yoninah above, and a new reviewer is needed to review all five articles and the ALT4 hook above, which meets the length requirement per WP:DYKSG#C3. No QPQs will be needed. Thank you very much for reviewing. Note that the individual articles were nominated between 12 December and 17 December. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BlueMoonset, Thanks for reviewing and from my point of view ALT4 hook seems to be fine.(Fade258 (talk) 02:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC))[reply]

To clarify, I am not reviewing; this needs a new reviewer to take over. Thank you to whoever does so. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing... I'm happy to pick up this review. Since it's a multi-part nomination, I'll post my comments after I've checked all articles. Edge3 (talk) 04:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is long enough, and it was new enough when nominated. No copyvio detected. Neutrally written, well-referenced. The multi-article hook (ALT4) is interesting, well-written, and meets length requirements of WP:DYKSG#C3. The portion of the hook fact regarding Jaffna Stallions is cited and verified. QPQ not required.

Jaffna Stallions nomination: Approved.
Template:Did you know nominations/Galle Gladiators in 2020: Approved.
Template:Did you know nominations/Dambulla Viiking in 2020: Approved.
Template:Did you know nominations/Kandy Tuskers in 2020: Approved
Template:Did you know nominations/Colombo Kings in 2020: There are remaining issues that need to be addressed.

I see two options here. 1) Wait for the Colombo Kings article to be improved. 2) Publish ALT4 except for the portion of the hook regarding Colombo Kings. Edge3 (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edge3, another option is to publish ALT4 and change the Colombo Kings from a bold link to a non-bold link if the article can't be improved. It's not great that it has so many clarification and citation needed tags (and two bare URLs in the sourcing), but I think it could fly that way. Note that nominator Empire AS has been blocking for socking, and as it's a checkuser block, it's very unlikely that they'll be unblocked. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:25, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Colombo Kings in 2020 for closure due to inactivity. The remainder of this nomination may proceed with the following hooks:

ALT5a: ... that the Jaffna Stallions took home the trophy for the 2020 inaugural season of the Lanka Premier League, besting the Galle Gladiators, Dambulla Viiking, and Kandy Tuskers, though they failed to record a win against the Colombo Kings?
ALT5b: ... that the Jaffna Stallions took home the trophy for the 2020 inaugural season of the Lanka Premier League, besting the Galle Gladiators, Dambulla Viiking, and Kandy Tuskers? Edge3 (talk) 17:54, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fade258 has made significant edits to Colombo Kings in 2020, so let's put this nomination on hold (again) while I conduct a review of that article. Edge3 (talk) 19:11, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, the concerns at Template:Did you know nominations/Colombo Kings in 2020 were finally resolved. Let's proceed with ALT4. Thanks to all who have been involved! Edge3 (talk) 04:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
