Non-notable professional wrestler. Signing onto a development organization says nothing towards notability. No real coverage. Peter Rehse (talk) 10:19, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the article needs to be expanded, but this development organization has a international TV show which airs in over 40 countries, probably more coverage than the #2 and the #3 American wrestling companies. Louis has appeared on said TV show and even wrestled the organization's champion last month. starship.paint ~ KO 08:32, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, I've added over 10 secondary sources to the article, most of which are from WP:PW/RS or newspapers, so yes, coverage! starship.paint ~ KO 03:44, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@PRehse and MPJ-DK: - would you like to comment on the improved state of the article? Note that more expansion is possible. starship.paint ~ KO 03:47, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose yes it is a stub right now but he is honorable , not just working for tlWWE.but one of the feature storylines on a NXT TakeOver as well. MPJ-US 08:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And two days after creation it is AFD'ed? Can i vote Super Oppose due to impatience? MPJ-US 08:50, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks significant independent coverage. Routine sports reporting is not enough to show notability. Participating in a development organization is not competing at the highest level. Jakejr (talk) 21:49, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom and Jakejr. AfD isn't based on timing or someone's view of eligibility, but on notability and suitability. Searches turned up nothing to show that this individual currently meets the notability criteria. Perhaps Userfy, since this might by a case of WP:TOOSOON, but definitely doesn't pass WP:GNG.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Lots of routine sports reporting but that doesn't meet GNG. Applying the sports notability criteria (possibly a stretch for pro wrestling), he's not competing at the highest level. Astudent0 (talk) 17:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
