Talk:Split (bowling)

Washouts
I think we should make a separate page for washouts, since they are technically not splits. Just a thought. T.Nguyen092 16:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be nice, if there was enough information to constitute a seperate page, which I don't think is true. Alex43223T 03:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Move?

 * Split (ten pin bowling) →  — Unnecessary disambig. —
 * Oppose. "Bowling" without further description is ambiguous: it often means bowling a ball in cricket. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Whether "Bowling" is ambiguous is beside the point. The issue here is whether Split (bowling) is ambiguous.  That is, should Split (bowling) be a dab page with links to several articles about different topics each of which is about some kind of bowling-related split?   Since Split (bowling) is not a dab page, but a redirect to Split (ten pin bowling), that is apparently not the case. --Born2cycle (talk) 17:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose, Support - This level of disambiguation is necessary as a split also occurs in green bowling.--Lucy-marie (talk) 17:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

A split in green bowling is where the bowls split around the jack. This is mainly through delioberate striking, similar to a split in curling.--Lucy-marie (talk) 15:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That is irrelevant, unless there is an article in WP about splits in green bowling (so far as I know, that is not the case). We don't add precision to avoid conflicts with any conceivable topic; we add precision to avoid conflicts with other topics for which articles exist in Wikipedia.  --Born2cycle (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. Since Split (bowling) is a redirect to this article anyway, I'm assuming there is no other article in Wikipedia about a topic to which Split (bowling) may refer.  Count my vote as oppose if there is such an article in Wikipedia, and it is identified (in which case Split (bowling) should probably be made a dab page).  --Born2cycle (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. I agree with Born2cycle's arguments. "Split (bowling)" has redirected here for almost 3 years without problem. No reason for the extra words. Additionally, once moved, info about splits in other variations of bowling can be incorporated into this article. Station1 (talk) 23:57, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What is a green bowling split?, so I can write a page about it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:10, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Contradiction?
The article contradicts itself or is at least very confusing. First it says you cannot a convert a 7-10 split by sliding one pin into the other, and then it says you can. None of the video of a 7-10 split conversion, however, support the second claim (by sliding). Stephen C. Carlson (talk) 20:03, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

7-10 Conversion
I was reading the Bowling News paper (or whatever its called) last season, while I was waiting for my turn in league play, and they were describing another way to pick up the 7-10 split because some youngster had just done it. It was a light ball and it traveled so slowly it bounced off the 10 and rolled over to hit the 7. Since it was in that official paper should it be added to this article as a way to pick up that split? Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Gonna add to this 10+ year discussion with this 7-10 split conversion via pin sliding by Sean Rash (link). I guess the 7-10 split section might need a rewrite. --Ui56k (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Other splits
I was going through the possible splits and some were not listed. Maybe they don't counts as a split but I have not found any reason why not. Here they are: 2-4-10, 3-6-7, 4-6-7, 6-7-10, 7-8-10 and 7-9-10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JCArdussi (talk • contribs) 09:20, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
