Talk:Athleticism

Confusion regarding the words sports, athletics, athleticism - athletes from sport, dance, acrobats/circus, (police & military)

Dear all, I have a problem with this redirect and would like your support to undo this redirect and bring it back to the ambiguition page on all these words: athletics, athleticism - athletes, sports. I'm coming in from the EU Erasmus+ financing program. We have a policy for HEPA = Health Enhancing Physical Activities and there is chapter for financing that is called "Erasmus+ Sport". But actually that should be "Erasmus+ Athleticism", because it supports everybody who needs their body to be in a top athletic shape/condition for their job. Of course people & federations from sport, but also from dance, acrobats/circus artists, police and military. When you google, you get you get "athleticism, the physical qualities that are characteristic of athletes, such as strength, fitness, and agility" as per "Definitions from Oxford Languages". For some reason a lot of people think athleticism = athletes from the

"

Sport of athletics, a collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking Track and field, a sub-category of the above sport

".

What is the linguistic term for such confusion between the meaning of words?

So for that reason this financing program has been re-named "Erasmus+ Sport" - at least people from soccer, tennis, basket ball, etc. understand this financing program is for them. But now we loose all the people coming in from dance, acrobacy/circus, police and military.

Can I have your support to undo this redirect - for sure we're not going to let the wikipedia support the confusion on these words; the confusion has to stop here and it starts with undoing this wikipedia redirect and start an article on athleticism?

That is not what the help template is for, this is a discussion to be had, not asking for help using Wikipedia. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 14:01, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
