Missing articles that need to be created, that don't fall under the categories already covered at WP:CUEBIOS, WP:CUEORGS or WP:CUEEVENTS or showing up as missing game articles at the top of WP:CUETODO (or as redlinks in the game list at Cue sport). Things like films, books, equipment, companies, etc. that need entire articles (not just WP:CUEGLOSS entries) go here.

Priority should first be given to those that are the most redlinked from other articles.

[edit] Books

  • Daly's Billiard Book (1800s, by champion Maurice Daly; perhaps the first mass-produced, general-audience book on the topic; should start as a section in his bio and possibly stay that way)
  • The Compleat Gamester (1674, by Charles Cotton; the earliest known written rules in English for billiards games, among many others; possibly should just be part of Cotton's article, but probably not, as it had its own lasting significance, and wasn't even attributed to Cotton until considerably later.
