It is proposed that this article be deleted, because of the following concern: Nobody cares about billiards players in Alaska.

I wish to respond to that comment. I disagree. I just think there is a lack of a web presence of Alaskan pool, as well as modern Alaskan culture overall. If someone isn't a pool player, one could say nobody cares about billiards players in Alaska or anywhere for that matter. But Alaska has the highest participation rate of pool players in the nation per capita (number of teams/leagues per population). Anchorage alone has well in excess of 100 teams.

Billiards is growing in popularity internationally as seen in the Phillipines and Taiwan, and many of their top players are listed in wikipedia. Do you think that nobody cares about billiards players in the Phillipines?
