Doesn't meet WP:GNG. No significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Only primary and WP:ROUTINE coverage HHH Pedrigree (talk) 13:30, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Likely notable. See [1], [2], [3] Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:52, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Vilenski two of those are about his father and the third just confirms he exists. MPJ-DK 22:12, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Everything I am finding is related to Fred Curry (wrestler). No reason why these limited highlight's couldn't be included on his fathers page. He is already mentioned there. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 15:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't see the significant independent coverage necessary to meet WP:GNG. I would suggest a merge or redirect to Fred Curry (wrestler) would be better. I'm not sure that article has the coverage to be notable, at least not based on the article's current sources, but it's a better article than the one on his son. There's no indication that Junior meets any notability criteria required for an individual article. Papaursa (talk) 17:53, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Papaursa: During his heyday, the elder Fred Curry was a pushed wrestler in what was one of the top promotions in the United States at the time. I agree that the sources in that article are basically bullshit. Unfortunately, logic doesn't seem to matter in these discussions about half the time, only whether we're catering to the usual web-fueled 21st-century mindset.

Delete I have not been able to find significant third-party coverage of Fred Curry Jr. - not even in unreliable sources. MPJ-DK 01:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - likely notable. - Scarpy (talk)
Delete. I see two !votes that he's "likely notable" -- without a single reliable source in he article to show for it. He does not get a free article merely because his dad was notable. Bearian (talk) 19:52, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - doesn't meet WP:GNG and notability not inherited. A redirect to his dad would be fine, too. Nikki♥311 09:03, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
delete or redirect Doesn't meet the GNG or the notability standards for entertainers. A redirect to his father would be OK, but his notability is also questionable. Sandals1 (talk) 02:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
