Mostly OR?

The list of extreme sports is so inclusive that is does not make much sense. If extreme sport is virtually any kind of sport then it is a redundant concept. We need reliable sources for inclusion in the list, not merely the opinion or judgment of contributors. The article on Freestyle skiing does not mention extreme sport, still one contributor insist on including. --— Erik Jr. 20:45, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

[1] "The sports most commonly placed in this group are skateboarding, snowboarding, freestyle skiing, in-line roller-skating, street lugeing, and BMX and mountain biking." --Pelmeen10 (talk) 20:57, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but the list is very long and linked article does not support claim. --— Erik Jr. 21:32, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Kite ice skating - extreme? This article really needs to be renovated. --— Erik Jr. 22:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Snowmobiling is part of the Winter X Games besides snowboarding and freestyle skiing. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:29, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps, but sources must be cited and articles for each of these sports must also document that these are indeed extreme sports. --— Erik Jr. 00:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Please leave the tag until the issue is resolved. Reference should be in article, not on discussion page. — Erik Jr. 00:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Why can't you help? Wikipedia is a community project. There's a Encyclopedia of Extreme Sports, or just Google search. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:11, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Just remove, it was debated in the past (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_extreme_sports), and problems with POV and OR have been not address, yet people insist calling some activities more danger than others without proper source comparing rate of death or injuries per practitioners.
