Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.

* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)

Note

All entries should be placed in the main: People from Long Branch, NJ category. Many entries were in both the sportspeople and people categories. For simpler navigation, all entries have been placed in the People from Long Branch, NJ category. Tinton5 (talk) 00:21, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All sportspeople are people. The question is whether or not they should only be in the child (i.e. Sportspeople from Long Branch, New Jersey) or in both the child and the parent (i.e. Sportspeople from Long Branch, New Jersey and People from Long Branch, New Jersey). The structure of Category:Sportspeople by city in the United States is rather robust and any issues should be addressed by discussion (or CfD) rather than emptying the category. Can you explain why the category should be emptied? Alansohn (talk) 02:10, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This category should not be speedy deleted as being unpopulated, because it is unclear why the category was emptied in the first place. --Alansohn (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
