Contested prod. I tried finding sources for this but failed. I got a total of around 150 google hits and not all of them are about this group. Ridernyc (talk) 05:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The MWA is the oldest running (40 years) and most prestigious wrestling promotion in the state of Kentucky, with many legends having worked there through the years. The MWA is a part of Kentucky heritage and its history. The source links for the company are as follow:

web.archive.MWAonline.net
MWAonline.net

Also, the MWA is a member of the Kentuckiana Wrestling Promoters Alliance at the following link:

KWPAlliance.com

Also, Spike TV's TNA Wrestling stars Chris Harris and Abyss are former MWA Heavy Weight Champions.

I also did an Advanced Search for Mountain Wrestling Association on Google and pulled up over 3,700 hits. While not all were in relation to the MWA, many were, including references to the MWA on Fox TV. Here is a link the original news coverage footage: [Fox TV Coverage]

I feel the page should be left up, as that I will work more on the page as you require. Any help is appreciated. I have seen other promotions with less references and not nearly as much rich history here on Wikipedia. Thank you for your time.

KEEP

Delete First, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS does not an argument make. Second, the MWA does not inherit notability from notable former champions, see WP:ORG. The sources besides Fox are not mainstream sources and do not otherwise clearly establish themselves as reliable WP:SOURCES. Lack of mainstream news results indicates non-notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. Contested prod? Ugh, what a broken system prod is, in every which way. Yes, delete this, burn it with fire. It lacks anything in the way of notability, failing GNG due to a lack of non-trivial coverage from third party publications. JBsupreme (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
