2002 World Matchplay (darts)
- ... that the 2002 World Matchplay saw the first nine-dart finish to be broadcast live in the United Kingdom? Source: Taylor hits nine-darter - BBC Sports

- Should United Kingdom be linked in the hook? --kingboyk (talk) 20:06, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

- Template:Reply 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)
- Template:Reply 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.

- Template:Ping so could you suggest a different hook? Yoninah (talk) 12:17, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Reply I am unable to suggest another hook that would be fascinating. MWright96 (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
