John Higgins (disambiguation)
I'm pretty certain Higgins is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for his name. Whilst there is a lot of "John Higgins" at John Higgins, none of them are nearly as notable as this four time world champion (7 times World Championship finalist). I did a pageview analysis on the page, and nothing gets anywhere near as much traffic (if at all). Whilst this isn't a surefire way to denote the primary topic, it's a good indicator.

the part which says he has made more than 750 century breaks placing him third on all time list is now inaccurate, can it now say Higgins is tied second with Hendry as he has just equalled his 775 century breaks please. 109.151.166.95 ( talk) 15:34, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Betty Logan ( talk) 20:36, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
I wonder if there ever was a Maximum break in the first frame of the opening round in any tournament? Even more amazing is the fact that Higgins scored this after summer break, being virtually as 'cold' as could be. -- Markscheider ( talk) 11:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! I'll do a brief look now and should get through most of the rest this weekend. Any edits that are sufficiently minor to not bother you with, I'll do myself, but of course feel free to dispute/revert any that you disagree with. --

Gosh, I hate to do this, Lee Vilenski, but this looks like a drive-by nomination? You're #30 for authorship and #24 by number of edits. What's going on here? -- asilvering ( talk) 01:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Lee Vilenski, I tried to go through and do a typical prose check, but I quickly got pretty stuck - there's almost nothing in the first three career subsections after all, just match results, basically a database in prose form. I'm not seeing analysis or even summary. I think this is a big problem for 3b, but also for 1a. It looks like it would take a lot of work to condense this down into appropriate summary style. But maybe it will be easier to clean up than it looks. What are your thoughts? -- asilvering ( talk) 02:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
