  • Individual biographies with a strong association with pinball, including those of pinball developers, designers, artists, champions, etc.
  • Companies, organizations, publications and other non-individuals with a strong association with pinball
  • Games ancestral or closely related to pinball, including pachinko and bagatelle (some of which may also be within the scope of WP:WikiProject Cue sports)
  • Video simulation games of pinball (also within the scope of WP:WikiProject Video Games)
