This page is within the scope of WikiProject Cue sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of pool, carom billiards and other cue sports on Wikipedia.

Internal pages: Something like: [2][3]). Such pages are not fluff, but can be good places to find recruits for the project, possibly including subject-matter experts, especially if cross-referenced to the project. Also, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf. [4][5][6]).
Create timelines, both textual and graphical. See link for various guidelines and examples. We need an overall one for cue sports generally, and more specific ones as we drill down into more specific topics (timeline of nine-ball, timeline of Willie Mosconi's career, etc.).
Form sections: Exhibition game needs section on cue sports; could later form a new article with "Main article..." xref to it. What other general articles need cue sports sections?
Images: improve articles with images from commons; create pics and add them to commons as GFDL/CC-by/PD.
Add: {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see Ding Junhui for example).
Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g. 1965 in sports), using {{subst:Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet.
People who know my vociferously negative take on how Notability is being [ab]used in AfD and elsewhere, and my general siding with the camp that holds that Notability (at least as presently conceived) is doing as much harm as good and does not have as much consensus that its proponents claim, would probably be surprised that I created the first draft of this. I think it's pretty comprehensive (perhaps too comprehensive, and certainly too wordy). It also never says "notability" or "notable" once in it's text :-). I'd like to see that feature, and the whole not-quite-notabillity approach retained (though I'm not willing to fight very much about it. Heh. If the ongoing raging disputes about notability eventually lead to more solid consensus and Notability becomes a better accepted Guideline or even a Policy, then what we have here (or rather what it'll be by then!) should probably be a really good ready-made official Guideline on this subject area. I hope! — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib]ツ 09:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This post no longer reflects my views; WP:N has actually come a long way in the last couple of months. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib]ツ 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
