Created by S.A. Julio (talk) and The C of E (talk). Nominated by The C of E (talk) at 07:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC).

I think that this article should be checked for impartiality before it is nominated/included in DYK. Otherwise, it matches all the requirements so is suitable for DYK. MBihun (talk) 17:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@MBihun: This was nominated before the big expansion. Is there an area in it you have a concern about? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@The C of E: Hi, I feel like the negative reception of the Super League takes up about half of the article, and may not completely use impartial language when describing/explaining these reactions. MBihun (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Can you specify where exactly please @MBihun:? The thing is, there isn't an awful lot in favour of it, it's almost worldwidely panned. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:21, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I completely understand, but some people like myself have expressed concerns that the Reception section of the article is too heavily focused on negatives and may use some impartial language. Please also feel free to look at the talk page section I made: Talk:The Super League#NPOV review. MBihun (talk) 17:25, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@MBihun: Thank you. I will try to look into sorting it once the heat and media attention has died down. Give it a few days to cool. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@MBihun: I have added a little about some support for it from fans, but its hard because it is almost unanimously opposed. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:20, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

As per recent updates by the creators of this nomination I find it is suitable to include in DYK (personally I prefer ALT1). MBihun (talk) 11:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Article is currently proposed to be merged, and since the Super League never happened the hooks are inaccurate - you can't threaten sanctions for doing something that can't be done. Kingsif (talk) 13:45, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Woah woah woah! There's no need for that. All it needs is to be held until that discussion is concluded. It is completely inappropriate to use the X sign for this. The hook can easily be reworded. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 14:41, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

You want to write a hook for something that existed as a proposal for three days? DYK that had X gone ahead, Y threatened that they might have put sanctions on players if they were to... no, there's nothing viable to say. Kingsif (talk) 10:58, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding the proper icon for when a merge discussion is ongoing and the nomination goes on hold. Should the article survive, then any new hooks can be judged on their interest. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:14, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: The merge tag has been removed so this can proceed. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:19, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
