This article is silly. We should just integrate it into the Go (board game) entry (which already has half this content anyway) and delete it. --k.lee
Rather, it should be renamed to a more standard English entry such as professional Go play, with info from the overly large Go article incorporated. The Go article needs to be broken up. --The Cunctator
We should move it into the Go article if the subject page is unlikely to become much larger than it is currently.
However, I can see it expanded to contain a list of the major prizes, with current prize holders and brief bios of the major players. If this is done well, it would become large enough to justify its existence as a separate article.
In order to plan ahead, my vote would be to keep the subject page as it is. I also agree that the big Go article should be broken up. David 17:57 Oct 11, 2002 (UTC)
Just my 2c, I think it's a page that's needed (not only because I've linked to it externally). Sensei's Library, for example, has a lot of information and discussion about pros. It's part of the... culture of Internet go. And Hikaru no Go, which is how a lot of people recently have been introduced to go, is all about the pro scene (only a slight exaggeration). I don't too much mind the idea of changing the name to professional Go play as suggested by The Cunctator, but I feel personally that the core concept here is more about the professional Go scene than about the actual play of the game (after all, only the pros can really understand that).
