Unsourced list with no requirements for inclusion. The purpose of the list can be fulfilled much better with categories. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:03, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Unsourced" does not mean unsourceable, which I don't think could be the case here if the entries are notable. And why would inclusion be more of a problem for this list than a category? It would be the same information either way. See also WP:NOTDUP, on the complementarity of categories and lists. postdlf (talk) 18:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as per conversation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling, the premise of this simply will not work. An article for all notable tag teams is impossible to research. There are notable tag teams that are missing from the list, and a lot that are entered and are not notible (such as Team BAD, or Slater & Rhyno). There is no way to source an article like this, that would be able to prove that the tag team in question is notable. So, a list would only make sense if it only included articles that were created, or obvious redlinks. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:53, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- "There is no way to source an article like this, that would be able to prove that the tag team in question is notable." I don't understand this at all, are you saying you don't understand notability guidelines on Wikipedia, or are you confusing what we mean by "notability" with something else? If it has an article or merits one, then it belongs in a list. If it doesn't merit an article, remove it. That's an issue for ordinary editing to maintain, and a standard practice and inclusion criteria for lists of any kind. postdlf (talk) 17:00, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This arbitrary list serves no purpose. In addition WP:LISTBIO is clearly being ignored in compiling this list. - Galatz ^Talk 17:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've removed the teams from the first few sections that don't have articles on Wikipedia per the previous deletion discussion - a key factor in notability. No article = not notable and shouldn't be on the list. Discussion required for the rest as it looks like clutter even with my work done to establish a firmer notability guideline. 150.101.89.150 (talk) 22:56, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
