Internal pages: Something like: ). 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. ).
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.

– Obsolescence of this game is reliably sourceable.
I wouldn't think it accurate to use past-tense verbs like the sport is dead; this sounds decidedly similar to "Cut-Throat", one of my favorite pocket billiards variants. 71.215.229.83 (talk) 05:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
It can be (and in article text should be) reliably sourced as obsolete (i.e. dead), per Shamos, Mike (1999). The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Billiards. New York: Lyons Press. ISBN1-55821-797-5.{{cite book}}: |access-date= requires |url= (help); Check date values in: |accessdate= (help); Unknown parameter |nopp= ignored (|no-pp= suggested) (help) at the "life pool" entry in that book. "Decidedly similar" and "the same" are not, well, the same. The article at Cutthroat (pool) should, however, almost certainly mention this game and link to this article as an obvious forerunner. — SMcCandlish[talk][cont]‹(-¿-)›01:21, 7 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
