Talk:Squash (sport)

Dane
Squash is a racket-and-ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow, rubber ball. The players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of the game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. There are about 20 million people who play squash regularly world-wide in over 185 countries.[1] The governing body of Squash, the World Squash Federation (WSF), is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), but the sport is not part of the Olympic Games, despite a number of applications. Supporters continue to lobby for its incorporation in a future Olympic program. The Professional Squash Association (PSA) organizes the pro tour 69.79.197.186 (talk) 01:53, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 * oppose it is decidedly not. —blindlynx 13:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose move. The fruit is too prominent for the sport to be the primary topic.  O.N.R.  (talk) 17:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose the sport gets the most views but others have enough long-term significance to prevent the sport from being primary.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose as the sport and the fruit seem to be equivalent in terms of primacy. Though it might be a good idea to move those 2 to the top of the DAB page, as one of those two are likely to be what an average reader will be looking for. Rreagan007 (talk) 22:01, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Fictional Players
@Wethepeople102938 playing squash in a single episode (out of 153) does not make characters notable fictional squash players. Charles Boyle, and Raymond Holt not known as fictional squash players, they are known as fictional cops. Boardwalk.Koi (talk) 16:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Fictional cops but still squash player name another more notable fictional squash player besides Louis from suits as I am already working on including him in the list Wethepeople102938 (talk) 16:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The absence of other notable squash players doesn't make them anymore notable. I don't know if there are any notable "fictional squash players", but I know that the characters you mentioned certainly don't qualify. Boardwalk.Koi (talk) 20:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
