Meta:
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]).
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.).
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?

5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 09:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]
I'm comparing the current revision of the article to this revision before the expansion began. I'm using this tool for checking the character count. The prose size was 1474 characters before, and stands at 6856 characters after the expansion, which slightly falls short of the 5X mark (7370 characters). The article is new enough, well-referenced, no copy-vios detected, hook cited-inline / interesting, QPQ done. I'd be happy to pass this once the issue is addressed.

Ashleyyoursmile, why would you use that prior revision, when it is significantly after the expansion started? Why not use this one from 6 days before? [7] DYKtool is happy Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 10:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lee Vilenski, apologies if this doesn't make sense, but I was comparing with this revision since you started the expansion just after this. Ashleyyoursmile! 10:47, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ashleyyoursmile, that isn't how expansion works. It just requires the article to have been expanded 5x in the prior 7 days. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 10:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lee Vilenski, thank you for correcting me. Here's the full review:
"Ranked 81st in the world, Brown became the lowest-ranked player to win a ranking event since world number 93 Dave Harold won the 1993 Asian Open.[1] He also became the first Northern Irish player to win a Welsh Open title.[2]" - think these two sentences can also be mentioned in the prose
"The event's total prize fund was £405,000, with the winner receiving £70,000. The player accumulating the highest amount of prize money over the six events receives a bonus of £150,000." - needs verifying by a reliable source
Source "BetVictor Welsh Open 2021 | Centuries" says there were 72 centuries not 73. This figure will need correcting and the extra century not included in the reference deleted if it cannot be verified
The works for the two Eurosport references should be either written as Eurosport or Eurosport UK not both
Those are different websites though - It's like citing IGN, or IGN Italy. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 14:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
References 1 and 2 are missing both the author and the publication date
The same references have different date formats than the remainder
Reference 5 title: "Calendar 2020/2021_February"." - the text in bold is unneeded
The hyphens in the titles of References 6, 10 and 13 need to be replaced by en dashes (–) per
MOS:DASH
References 14 to 18 are missing the publication dates
The publication dates are lacking from the templates for References 20 to 26
Shall put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above MWright96(talk) 18:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski: Most of the World Snooker references are still missing their publication dates as well as the Championship Snooker citation "CLS Added To BetVictor European Series" and the Eurosport citation "Welsh Open 2021 – Judd Trump stunned by Hossein Vafaei to crash out at Celtic Manor Resort" MWright96(talk) 14:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
