9-darter prize sum[edit]

I may be wrong, but wasn't it 100,000 pounds for the 9-darter itself, and 2,000 for something else - best finish in the tournament, perhaps? (not that 141) --J. Sketter (talk) 06:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, no idea. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 23:10, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Walk-on music[edit]

During the World Seniors Darts Championship Lowe's walk-on music was Whitesnakes 'Here I Go Again'. Is this something that can be added below his PDC walk-on perhaps? 89.100.59.142 (talk) 15:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You would need a reliable source before it could be added. Keith D (talk) 17:14, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He does have a tweet if that's any good: https://twitter.com/jloweprodart/status/1482999654262390786?s=20&t=wQPTeBQbZQCIVnV8PQGEYw.

It can also be heard during his walk-on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzlbNLIx6c — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.59.142 (talk) 12:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither are really reliable sources. Keith D (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Lowe → John Lowe (darts player)
John Lowe (disambiguation) → John Lowe

– With so many notable people named "John Lowe", I do not think there is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name. The darts player article was created in 2004, which is likely why it has held the primary slot for John Lowes. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:19, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support the actor has more views (3,939) than the darts player (3,812), the musician has 578, the executive has 61, the Dean has 40, the martyr has 25, the Nebraska politician has 21, the American law professor has 20, the rugby league player has 18, the footballer has 17, the Scottish lawyer has 11, the cricketer has 10, the MP has 9, the Indologist has 6 and the character has 2[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:13, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Crouch, Swale. There are 17 men listed upon the John Lowe (disambiguation) page, with no indication that the renown of the retired darts champion has been continuing at such an immense level that it overwhelms the combined notability of the remaining 16 men. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=John_Lowe isn't convincing, as the hatnote is only a small portion of outgoing traffic, not in the top 10. And https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=John_Lowe_%28disambiguation%29 doesn't render at all for me for some reason. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22John+Lowe%22&pws=0 shows a lot of variety and does seem to indicate there is no primary topic. Worst case, we can move it back if we see a clear traffic pattern the other way around later. Support --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 15:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. At least there is a clear absence of primary topic by historical importance. BD2412 T 04:06, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
