There are a few problems with this article as it stands. |
|||
One, the article is written by a contributor who has almost solely edited concerning the style of grappling newly sponsored by FILA, "Grappling". |
|||
Two, the article's description of grappling is lifted verbatim from the FILA official website (source 1), and obviously serves mostly as an advertisement for their fledgling foray into this established sport - going so far as to (currently, but I will address that) claim that the sport of "Grappling" was founded by FILA Wrestling! If it were very clear that the article was solely speaking about FILA's particular brand, that would be one thing - but it is only one of many grappling competitions, and it is far from the most prestigious or popular. |
|||
Three, there is already an article on [[grappling]] as a general term, which this page is somehow trying to cover while also speaking almost entirely about the FILA style. |
|||
Four, huge sections of the article are lifted wholesale from [[Brazilian Jiu-jitsu]], such as the "Fighting" section which is a minor alteration of a copy+paste from the "Style of Fighting section in the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu article. |
|||
Considering this, it seems that this article should either be merged with the [[Grappling]] article and serve as a section there (there is already a section on FILA's grappling sport there which could be expanded), or re-written to discuss FILA's "Grappling" in the same manner as the [[Greco-Roman Wrestling]] page discusses only that particular sport, and have its title changed to reflect that it i. As it stands, I cannot see what the point of this article is. [[User:FlowWTG|FlowWTG]] ([[User talk:FlowWTG|talk]]) 03:05, 3 September 2010 (UTC) |

:I think a merge is the best plan or this will end up as a [[WP:POVFORK|Fork]] for a specific view, re-naming [[Grappling (FILA)]] to detail their rules set and remove the copy & paste bits (unless the edit summary mentions where they came from their it a [[WP:CC-BY-SA|potential attribution issue]]) & cross link to the main grappling article. --[[User:Nate1481|Nate]][[User talk:Nate1481|<sup>t</sup>]]/[[Special:Contributions/Nate1481|<sub>c</sub>]] 10:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC) |

::The existing article on grappling is already about a martial art and is a generically used term. Some of the comments in this article are general wrestling comments and some are specific to the FILA rules, but both should be placed into the existing article on [[Grappling]].

:I'm not quite sure what the difference is between this and the "Ne Waza" article ([[Ne waza#Ground_grappling]]), either. If the intent is to speak specifically about the martial-art aspects of grappling, it should be merged with this section, otherwise, I agree with FlowWTF that it can be removed altogether.
