Non notable wrestler, no evidence of multiple non trivial independent sources, 13 unique Ghits, fails WP:BIO. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 00:43, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. He was a regular competitor in the United States Wrestling Association and the Global Wrestling Federation, two major and notable promotions during the 1990s. As both promotions folded before 1998, there wouldn't be much on him via an internet (Google) search. However, a reference or even a prod tag would have been more appropriate then going straight to an afd discussion. MadMax 02:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Given your previous history of removing prods without improving the article, I wasn't prepared to waste my time. If sources existed, you should have created the article from them and listed them appropriately. Given the amount of content contained in the article it's reasonable enough to assume that you do not have access to multiple non trivial sources about this person, and it's unlikely they exist.

My "previous history" amounts to one instance of removing a prod tag from Damon Darchangelo, an article you nominated for deletion less then a minute after I had removed the tag while attempting to clean up the article (such as moving the article to the correct spelling of his name).

Delete - No assertion of notability.--Bryson^{Talk}^{Edits} 03:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Tornado DD_eleT_e Only source is the PWI ranking, which is notoriously easy to get into. One of my fraternity brothers was ranked in the 300's on PWI's list in 1996 after wrestling in a local indie for about 8 months. Caknuck 03:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless better evidence of notability can be established. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom; this article needs references, plus the Google hits count shows non-notability as well. P.B. Pilhet 21:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless reliable sources are found and the notability criteria satisfied. V60 ^{干什么？ · VDemolitions · ER 3} 21:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Name caught my attention - not much here but notability could be salvaged with a single good referenceKeepBec-Thorn-Berry 10:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I know he regularly appeared on GWF television, although I don't know of any online sources aside from tape trading websites which could verify it. I've sinced added a reference from prowrestlinghistory.com, a reference used in numerous wrestling biographies on Wikipedia. MadMax 09:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
