Dane[edit]

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)[reply]

Requested move 31 July 2023[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved as WP:SNOW. Clearly, there is no consensus for the proposed move at this time and it seems highly unlikely to develop now or in the near future. (non-admin closure) estar8806 (talk) ★ 23:33, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The fruit is an equivalent primary topic by both long term and educational significance, although the actual page is under a more broad name. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:36, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oppose it is decidedly not. [1]—blindlynx 13:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Oppose. No it isn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
