Thanks for your work on this article! I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria and will post my comments below. DanCherek (talk) 22:15, 29 September 2021 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Source for career winnings?
removed Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:56, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Maybe wikilink European Under 21 Championships to EBSA European Under-21 Snooker Championships

I'm not familiar with the concept of a "money-list" and noticed that the term is used only in the lead and not in the body
I've expanded in both the body and the lede. This is the prize money for the prior season. Basically, despite Cahill not being on the tour, he was the second highest ranked player over the 2018-19 season who wasn't in the top 64 in the world. (He actually ranked a lot higher than that, which is mental for someone not on the tour, as the one-year list is designed for people on the tour who have a poor first season.)

### Career
His father's name is Patrick, not Peter, per BBC source
Seems weird to give match results for all except for Darryl Hill, maybe include that 5–1?
Is there a source for "only ever occurrence of a whitewash in the final"?
"losing to Joe Perry 6–3, and Ken Doherty 4–0 respectively": "respectively" is not needed here as there is no ambiguity
he "couldn't believe how badly [he] had played" → he couldn't "believe how badly [he] played" per exact quote from source
"the second event, to Jamie Cope" — should specify the scores here like you do with the other two
Quote box: I don't think you need to put the exact same quote in the reference itself, seems redundant
Quote box should be moved down one paragraph so that it is placed next to the text about Ronnie O'Sullivan
I don't see the "giant killer" detail in either of the cited sources
"returned to being an amateur player" recommend adding "in June 2021" per lead

### Personal life
Ref 49 goes to the same link as ref 4
Can you wikilink to the appropriate "Preston"? There appears to be a gazillion of them in England
ban from driving: I would specify that it was a 1-year ban and that it happened in 2015
"money and valuables being stolen": from the source, it looks like just money was stolen, no mention of valuables
All done. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)


### Additional comments
in the "Career finals" table, is the period after "1" meant to be there?
I'm not sure I understand. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Under James Cahill (snooker player) § Amateur finals: 1 (1 title), below the "No." column, there is a period next to the 1. I wasn't sure if that was a typo or intentional. DanCherek (talk) 12:12, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Oh I see, that's a count of how many wins/runner-up positions they have. It looks silly, as there's only one, but see someone like Stephen Hendry for how they look if they have more than this. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:40, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, I checked out some other articles like Mark Selby and see what you mean. No remaining concerns from me! DanCherek (talk) 12:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
I have made some copy-edits to the article; minor things that I didn't feel like bringing up separately in this review. Let me know if you disagree with any of them.
Article is stable, illustrated with relevant and freely-licensed images, and without copyright violations
This is close! Putting this nomination on hold so that edits and/or responses can be made. If you have time, I have a peer review open here for what I'm hoping will be my first FAC, and any comments would be appreciated! DanCherek (talk) 00:27, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: I have two remaining questions, though they are minor and will not hold up the promotion of this article so I will pass it in the meantime. Congratulations! The first question is the "Career finals" thing which I responded to above. The second is that Preston is a disambiguation page. I was going to fix it myself but was not sure whether to link to Preston, Lancashire or City of Preston, Lancashire (or another one). DanCherek (talk) 12:12, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
