A lot of work has already been done to split Eight-ball and Blackball (pool), as the games are only marginally related to each other; I don't think it helps much to re-confuse the matter here. The UK-style game's champions should be at List of World Blackball Champions, with disambiguation tags at the top of both articles just like at both parent articles. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ 00:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Note: I have proposed a different tactic instead, below, namely to genericize the article further to include all pool world champions, since the split articles will be too short. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 00:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
I was working on the long-tagged split of this article into List of World Eight-ball Champions and List of World Blackball Champions and it occurred to me that the material is so sparse and particular that it should simply be moved into articles on the events (though there is no World Blackball Championship article at this point). Then it occurred to me that in addition to this, readers' most likely search phrases for material like this will be "world pool champion" or "pool world champion", without specifying the game. What we really need here is a more comprehensive pool champs article, and much of this will be easily sourceable from the back of the BCA rulebook, going all the way back to around the turn of the previous century. If we can declare the above naming debate closed as "no consensus" but agree on this, then the article can simply move to World pool champions with a redir at Pool world champions, lower case since no specific title is being referenced, only a class of such titles, and everyone should be happy! PS: Since each game and sanctioning body would be in its own section, the specifics could still be easily linkable-to from eight-ball, blackball, etc. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 15:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was moved to List of world eight-ball champions. Aervanath ( talk) 15:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
An anon made this change, which seems dubious: [19]. Needs to be verified. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 21:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
I removed the following unsourced section, because of lack of sources, lack of notability, and lack of international scope. If this is even real, these don't appear to be world championships in a world sport, they're national events that are open to non-nationals, like pretty much everything, like the US Open, etc. At very least, we should have a properly sourced (i.e. WP:DYK-acceptable) stub at Chinese eight-ball pool (not "Chinese 8-Ball Pool", though that should redirect there, among other variant spellings; see MOS:CUE).

The section in question:
| ||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This section lists world champions in Chinese eight-ball pool, sanctioned by the World Pool-Billiard Association, the Chinese Billiards and Snooker Association, and usually one or more Chinese government departments. This is played in China and attracts cue-sports professionals from all over the world. It is played on a 9 foot by 4½ foot table with rounded snooker-style pockets, rails and cloth, and with 2¼ inch pool balls. It is not to be confused with Chinese eight-ball.
