Article fails on "Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions". The article is not adequately sourced and attempts to define a "major tournament" in Snooker, terminogy that carries no specific meaning in the game. The definition given here implies that the majors are the four BBC events (World Open/UK/Masters/World Championship). While the UK, Masters and World Championship are universally defined as the Triple Crown (snooker) within snooker, the term "major tournament" carries no such precise meaning. While it is used in some contexts to denote the BBC events this isn't the universal case; World Snooker considers the Shanghai Masters and the Welsh Open to be "major events" as described here: [1]. The BBC on the otherhand defines all ranking tournaments to be "major tournaments", giving particular importance to the World Championship and the UK Championship as described here: [2]. For this reason, "majors" or "major tournaments" denote different events in snooker determined by who is applying the terminology, and so therefore it is misleading to pick out a specific set of tournaments as "majors". The article is not adequately sourced and draws to POV conclusions so for this reason I believe it would be better to scrap the article. Betty Logan ( talk) 09:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC) reply
