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]).

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?

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.

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the above changes MWright96. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Lee Vilenski: Can still see the lack of information on the semi-final match between the Phillipines and Germany and the inappropriate use of Sport, Matchroom and Release, Press being written into the last= and first= fields of several references. MWright96 (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• So, every other article about the first semifinal is now dead (with no archive). Not really sure what I can do. I've added the score to the section (and fixed the ref issues), but without a suitable ref, I can't expand the first semi-final.
• Ah, IPM to the rescue, should be fixed now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Lee Vilenski: Now promoting to GA class. I've added some missing details to some of the references and had to remove one that had a archive url that was linked to something else although the IPM source did verify all the information in the first-semi-final match.
