Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf.

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.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are regarded as separate nations in many sports, snooker being one of them. One reason for this is that so many of the top snooker players are from the UK. --

England's subjugation by Scotland does not mean it is not a nation, just as Poland's subjugation by Russia in the 19th century did not mean that Poland was not a nation at that time.

Career Prize money (Possibly £11,401)
High break: Article said 130 (1975 Canadian Open); Kobylecky source says Pulman had a 133 break in the 1953 world semi-final.
Century breaks: Kobylecky source lists 13 centuries at the World Championship.
"He remained the lead commentator for ITV until the sport was dropped by the channel in 1992."
GOCE copy edit

BennyOnTheLoose: I have completed my copy edit. The prose is in good shape, but I have a few comments:
Is there anything more about his personal life other than his early childhood and divorce? If so, that information should be added or this won't pass the comprehensiveness criterion of FA.
Titles in citations require consistent capitalization per
MOS:CONFORMTITLE. I leave the choice of capitalization scheme to you.
Some of the book cites use and others do not. For consistency of citation style, I would switch those that do not to using .
I cannot find this source: "The Complete International Directory of Snooker Players – 1927 to 2018". Neither the ISBN nor its title return any hits.
"Pulman had been touring snooker clubs as promotional work for the tobacco brand John Player" - I left a {{when}} tag on this.
Many thanks for that,
voorts. I'll certainly address those points before making a FAC nomination. The Complete International Directory of Snooker Players – 1927 to 2018 is effectively a
WP:SELFPUBLISHed source that used to be available via Snooker Scene, but I think I have a good case that work by Kobylecky is acceptable as an SPS. I might look at alternative sources anyway, to avoid the need to discuss it. I'll also probably change to sfn references for the books, as this looks tider IMO. Regards,
