The referal to luck in some definitions would exclude poker as, although over time the better player will win, there is the chance of a poor player beating a good player purely by the way the cards are dealt.

I can't see removing the covering or the stem and leaves from some fruits, vegetables, and seeds as a sport.

I can't see why not. You get better at it by practice and it requires skill. I also have a removing the stem and leaves competition with my family this weekend.
I was referring to the city, though
All of your links refer to physical exertion which is where snooker falls short, in my opinion.
