[edit]

I've just deleted the following text from the Ten-pin bowling article as being too narrowly detailed for that overview article. Perhaps someone will want to investigate whether this content should be added to this article.

====History of Asian and Pan American bowling events==== At the [[Americas]]-exclusive [[1983 Pan American Games]]<ref>{{cite book |last1=Grasso |first1=John |last2=Hartman |first2=Eric R. |date=2014 |title=Historical Dictionary of Bowling |url=https://books.google.com/?id=bblKBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA441&lpg=PA441&dq=Bowling+at+the+1983+Pan+American+Games#v=onepage&q=Bowling%20at%20the%201983%20Pan%20American%20Games&f=false |location=Lanhan, MD USA |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |page=441 |isbn=978-0-8108-8021-4 |quote=In 1951 the Pan American Games, a quadrennial multiple sports competition for Western Hemisphere countries, was inaugurated.

'''In 1983 it was contested as a demonstration sport'''. }}</ref> tenpins were a demonstration sport, with the tournament held in a similar manner to how it was held five years later, for similar demonstration purposes, [[Bowling at the 1988 Summer Olympics|at the 1988 Seoul Games]]. The sport also appears to have been a full-medal-level sport at two of the [[Asian Games]] celebrations before 1991: the [[Bowling at the 1978 Asian Games|first time at the eighth Asian Games]] in Bangkok, Thailand in 1978 (five years before its Pan American Games demonstration appearance in 1983); with the second medal-level appearance at the Asian Games occurring [[Bowling at the 1986 Asian Games|at its twelfth celebration]] in Seoul, South Korea in 1986, two years before the Summer Olympics demonstration event there. As a direct result of the 1983 experience in Caracas, Venezuela, for the first time anywhere (that would start a successive series of it being held anywhere), on August 2, 1991 in [[Havana, Cuba]], the tenpin sport earned a continuing, full "medal status" in an international multisport competition: [[Bowling at the 1991 Pan American Games|the eleventh competition]] of the [[Pan American Games]], at which all the nations of the [[Americas]] compete every four years. Unlike the Asian Games bowling events held [[Bowling at the 1994 Asian Games|before the 1994 Games in Japan]], when bowling joined the full-medal sports held at all successive celebrations at the Asian Games, the medal-level tenpin competition has been held at [[Pan American Games sports#Current Pan American Games program|every Pan American Games]] since 1991, and is a part of [[2019 Pan American Games#Sports|the 2019 Games]] to be held in [[Lima, Peru]].
