message: There's a new short film about Davis's sideline as an electronica DJ, of all things.  News/review from BilliardsMovies.com: .  He's also apparently been doing a radio show for some time now.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  06:09, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  ''Steve Davis: Snookerstar DJ'' 

message: There seems to be a dispute over Davis's professional status. An IP claims that his pro status didn't end in 2014 when he dropped off the main tour (and received a wild card to compete in certain events) while  contends that pro status is defined by having a full tour card. During his wildcard period Davis still received ranking points for the events he entered and was still listed in the rankings. If Davis was not the 103rd ranked professional player at the end of 2015/2016, then who was? At this stage of his career he was still playing in tour events, he was still getting ranking points and he still had a world ranking, so I agree with the IP in this instance that he was still effectively a professional player at this time.

message: In this episode, Steve did not recount his "cheese sandwich" story. Perhaps it has been cut out of the episode? What is the story?  Honeybadger69 (talk) 23:13, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Would I Lie To You (S11E06) 

message: Hi! I'd like to take this article to FA, but there's a few stumbling blocks, if someone wouldn't mind giving me a little hand:
# I've never promoted (or attempted to promote) a BLP. I don't know if there is additional issues with this
# Performance and rankings timeline - this is uncited - I have zero idea how to actually cite these. My experience is that they are implicitly cited, but that's not really good enough for FA level IMO. The only place that might actually be able to cite this well is on the global blacklist (cuetracker). 
# article needs a good copyedit, things like duplicate links and such. 
# I'm currently reading Steve Davis' autobiography, (it's a good read), most of the later stuff is well cited, but there's quite a bit of info I need to add from his younger years that is worthwhile to add. 
# Some worrying things I've had at GAN, is citing things like total money earned (career) and career century breaks. As he's retired, this should be easy enough to do, but currently isn't in the article. 
Please add additional issues/solutions you may find with this one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'll give the article a top-to-bottom copyedit.  Perhaps  could also take a look after I'm done?  As far as citing the uncitable goes, well if nothing reliable exists then the material will just have to go.  A BLP is no major issue, just have to keep on top of changes and since he's retired things will be a lot slower than if he was still entering dozens of tournaments per year.  I'll let you know when I'm done.  The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:34, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be very happy to help,  and . I've got some books that will cover the earlier years, but not so much on his later career, although I do have Masters of the Baize which I think is a really useful source. Happy to have a look for anything that gets marked "citation needed." I'd expect there to be a relevant article in Snooker Scene from when he announced his retirement, too, and will have a look for that when I can next get to The British Library. For citing the content performance and rankings timeline then Hayton's The CueSport Book of Professional Snooker will be good for most but not all tournament progress up to 2004. See Cliff Thorburn for an example of how I approached this when taking it to GA. (An editor later removed some of the cites saying "in-line citations not required in table; refs contained within wikilinked articles"  - I disagree with that, but didn't follow up on as I've already had enough of edit wars there.)

replies: text: So, it looks like snooker.org lists results from 2005 onwards (see 05/06 season), so we could be onto a winner. May I recommend having another row with references per year rather than how it was done on Thorburn per tournament? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Looks good. The missing tournaments from the CueSport book for Thorburn included the one-frame events like Australian Masters, New Zealand Masters, Pot Black, and 1990 Shoot-Out. I'll have a quick look for those tournaments and others that may not be covered in the book. I've never yet managed to track down any reliable source for the 1989 Hong Kong Gold Cup final result.
