Gravity sports
You cannot add a term to a Wikipedia article without citing any reliable source and then use the text you added as a source for another article. In general, Wikipedia cannot serve as a source for itself. I can find no evidence of the widespread use of the term "gravity sports."  General Ization  Talk   12:55, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a subject that was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally and for lack of asserted importance, because... Hi thanks for the opportunity to talk back -- The term Gravity Sports has been around a while and used used as an umbrella term by action sports media and industry participants. It was not coined by me, nor does it directly benefit myself or any acquaintances. I've noticed that it use was misunderstood by people not acquainted with surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, inline skating, motocross, or BMX. It's genuine, existing jargon that is not at all obscure,    --Jono8100 (talk) 13:06, 30 May 2017 (UTC) jono8100
 * The only evidence you provide for the "wide use" of the term is the text that you yourself introduced at Surfing. You'll need to provide more independent, verifiable evidence than that to justify the creation of an encyclopedia article.  General Ization   Talk   13:12, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
