WikiProject Cue sports to-do list: history watch purge Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Article requests : Lots of high-priority articles need to be created: List of wanted articles... Games: A bunch of high-priority game redlinks, e.g. American four-ball billiards (redirs to Four-ball billiards but not specifically covered there) "Legends": Edwin Kelly, Charlie Peterson (pool player) (all BCA Hall of Famers); George Franklin Slosson, Maurice Daly (billiards player), Frank Ives, George Butler Sutton [not George H. Sutton, the one with no hands] Male pool bios: Hsia Hui-kai Female pool bios: Male three-cushion bios: Dion Nelin & Jozef Bel Philipoom Female carom bios: Aygen Berk Saygıner Aristic pool bios: Nick Nikolaidis, Mark Dimick, Sebastian Giumelli, Eric Yow Unranked in current pool but notable: Mike Eufemia, Shannon Daulton, Jimmy Reid (pool player) [speed pool champ], var. Mosconi Cup players Non-player figures: Mitch Laurance, George Fels Five-pins bios: Gustavo Zito Organizations: Joss Tour Events: WPA World Nine-ball Championships (pre-1997), BCA Open Nine-ball Championship, World 14.1 Continuous Championship, International Challenge of Champions (pool) Media and misc.: Iwan Simonis (leading billiard cloth maker), Joss Cues (major cue mfr.), The Baron and the Kid [Johnny Cash film], Ultimate Pool Party [TV show] And: everyone/thing listed at WP:CUEGAMES, WP:CUEEVENTS, WP:CUEORGS, WP:CUEBIOS, & WP:CUEMISC. Also a Cue sports world records article (many can be pulled from bio articles like Geet Sethi, Guinness Book will provide others, and so will BCA and other orgs., websites and books like Shamos 1999). Meta: Outline of cue sports ( OoK; cf. [1], etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page. 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]). Cleanup : Thomas Engert, Marlon Manalo Copyedit : Jonni Fulcher Expand : Cue sports techniques#Carom shots (section needs to exist), Straight pool, Alfredo de Oro, Jeanette Lee (pool player) NPOV : Andy Segal (major WP:COI and WP:V issues, too), Jose Parica (it's bad!); Efren Reyes, Thomas Engert, Dennis Orcollo, Dick Jaspers Photo : Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports people Split : List of World Eight-ball Champions - blackball stuff needs own article { draft split from real eight-ball one ( draft). Stubs : loads of players in Category:Cue sports stubs Update : Arcade game (link to bagatelle, bar billiards, etc.) Verify : Cue stick (mostly WP:OR!), Frank Taberski (has major fact conflict between BCA & NYT sourcing), Russian pyramid, add sources to Unreferenced BLPs Wikify : Chicago (pool), Jonni Fulcher Other : 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? CopyVio rewrite: Clarify: What is the "continuous pool" listed above "14.1 continuous" at Alfredo DeOro? Delete or defend: Move/Rename (and Redirect): Redirect: Unorphan: Ensure: that rules discussions in game articles & the Billiard techniques article do not violate WP:NOT#IINFO. Help fix: WP:CUEBIOS#Pool players (women) is nearly empty! Help develop: the lists of WP:CUEORGS and WP:CUEEVENTS 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. Change: Replace: Some day: Seek Featured Topic status. Plunder: the French article; it does have some interesting tidbits, structure and images. Check out de.wikipedia, etc., as well. Inter-wiki: Improve simple:Billiards and foreign-language key articles. See also: Snooker to-do list Note: To watchlist this to-do list, click on "watch" at top right of this table.

1. The article was copy/pasted from [www.gamespot.com/psp/sports/pocketpool/news.html?sid=6165411 here]
2. The article is not an encyclopedia article
3. The article does not contain verified facts
4. The article is little but an ad
5. The article does not assert notability, and I doubt notability can be asserted

But having labelled it for deletion once with what seemed the most obvious problem, only to have someone remove the entire delete tag since they didn't think it was spam, although it clearly wasn't an article worth keeping, I'm not sure what to do. I've removed the copied text, which didn't belong anyway, but now wonder whether I should have left it so I could have tagged the article as a copy vio. But I'm loath to look like I'm edit-warring.

Well, it's over a month later and no one's died. This article is a steam pile, but with all the cleanup tags I slapped on it maybe someone will work on it. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC) reply
