Talk:Caleb Wales

The Sun source

@CoryGlee: Per WP:THESUN: the newspaper is a deprecated source, and [r]eferences from The Sun are actively discouraged from being used in any article. I understand the source is just being used to reference commentary they made, but that commentary itself isn't really notable/worth-including because the paper lacks reliability. TL;DR, it's not you or anything you wrote that's the problem, just the source. Thank you again for creating the article, and cheers from North Carolina! 😀 Johnson524 20:21, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Johnson524: I never get tired of learning, especially on Wikipedia. I am removing right now. And thanks for the comment. CoryGlee 21:49, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

• ... that the surname of a Trinidadian football assistant referee caught the attention of Welsh fans and the British press during Wales's first match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup?
  • ALT1: ... that the surname of a Trinidadian football assistant referee caught the attention of Welsh fans during Wales's first match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup? Source: This Trinidadian newspaper: Leading up to the match, British newspaper The Sun published a satirical story about fans' dismay over "Wales reffing Wales."
  • Part of the article read, "(A fan) said: 'Caleb Wales running one of the lines. Come on FIFA, where's the neutrality?' One added: 'One of the linesmen is called Caleb Wales! It’s a fix!'"
  • Reviewed: Gian Bernardino and Submarine (2010 film)
  • Comment: I will add the two QPQ(s) shortly. Please, if approved I would ask it to be shown on the portal before the end of the World Cup since Wales was appointed to this cup again.

Created by CoryGlee (talk). Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 43 past nominations.

• @CoryGlee: There was actually a proposal for a themed set on 19 July, worth adding it to that?--Launchballer 05:32, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
  • @Launchballer: Hey hi!! Thanks yes where do I insert this one? CoryGlee 11:38, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
• The article was nominated a day after creation and is long enough with 2000+ characters. Sources in the article are a mix of well known international publications and notable local newspapers. A copyvio check on Earwig comes out clean, with only generic names appearing red. Both hooks are similar, interesting enough and supported by the source. Both QPQ's are valid. ~Styyx^Talk? 16:16, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Moved to SOHA per the above discussion. CoryGlee, you can move the nomination back should you change your mind. ~Styyx^Talk? 16:20, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
