It is not for us to say whether or not your direcotry goal is worthwhile.
We can, and do, insist that directories have lots of rich content before we will list them. If someone builds a directory in the hopes of generating AdSense revenue, their directory is probably not listable. If someone builds a directory to fill a niche where there is no other directory, and set out to make it the most authoritative directory of its kind, they will have a much better chance of eventually being listed.
