• Create World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, World Snooker, Trick shot, List of snooker articles, Maximum snooker break (Different form highest snooker break), IBSF World Snooker Championship IBSF World Billards Championship and Premier League Snooker articles.
• Make a snooker Portal, at Portal:Snooker.
