The article has numerous cleanup tags on it. I have also struck ALT0 because we do not print unlinked names on the main page. Yoninah (talk) 20:07, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah, thank you for reviewing, however I will ameliorate the article as soon as possible. Thank you. Tahaaleem ^Talk 20:27, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah, I've added the 2nd hook. What do you think about it? Thank you. Empire AS ^Talk! 09:25, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah, the tags have been removed. So please can you view it again. Thank you. Tahaaleem ^Talk 09:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

OK. I read through the article and frankly, I understood nothing. I left tags at every place where you're talking about a number and not defining what that number means—balls? wickets? runs? Or what? It would help when you're writing these articles to link unfamiliar terms on their first mention, such as "batting", "bowling", "run rate", and "target". I also deleted the Squad and Administration sections, which belong in the 2020 season template at the bottom.
Regarding the hooks, ALT1 is practically a news report, not a hook. Shorter is always better. In ALT2, "LPL" is going to have to be spelled out, which is going to send the character count over the 200-character limit. As someone who knows nothing about cricket, this hook also doesn't make sense to me so I wouldn't want to click on it. In ALT3, same problem: if you don't know what a fifer is, the hook holds no interest. Try to write something that will appeal to an international, non-cricket audience.

Yoninah, thank you for reviewing it again, however, I will clarify all the salient parts as soon as possible. Thank you. Tahaaleem ^Talk 21:24, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

The article reads very well now. It is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Putting on temporary hold pending suggestion of a multi-article hook with other LPL cricket nominations. Yoninah (talk) 13:58, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Article now has a merge tag. Yoninah (talk) 10:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Now at AFD. Yoninah (talk) 19:00, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

AfD closed. Empire AS ^Talk! 16:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

The nomination continues at Template:Did you know nominations/Jaffna Stallions in 2020 as part of a five-article combined hook. This page will remain open in case until that page has been closed or the articles unbundled. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Reviewing... Edge3 (talk) 04:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tahaaleem: There are two tags (cleanup and merge) on the article. Are those still valid? Edge3 (talk) 04:32, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Never mind. I just read the AfD discussion, and I think those two tags no longer apply. Edge3 (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Approving as part of a multi-article hook, which will be finalized at Template:Did you know nominations/Jaffna Stallions in 2020. New enough when nominated. Long enough. Neutrally written. No copyvio detected. Hook fact (which is on the other page that I just linked) is cited and verified. I did some copyediting, so hopefully I caught all of the odd formatting and phrasing. QPQ not required.

Note to promoter: Do not finalize this nomination until the review concludes at Template:Did you know nominations/Jaffna Stallions in 2020. Edge3 (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
