Keep, ranked in the PWI 500 for six consecutive years, and went on to be successful in the promotion part of the industry. John Vandenberg 03:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, sometimes PWI 500 will list anyone to fill out the 500, what were his rankings? Did he get into the top 100? Darrenhusted 15:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some related external links, including [1]. The article says that the "Tony Rumble Memorial Battle Royal" is a sporadic event, but a quick look though those google results indicates it may be annual. John Vandenberg 16:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, as it stands this article does not establish the need for an article on this person. It is full of redlinks, the mentions of other famous wrestlers seem to imply he had something to do with them, but no more than booking them on a show, and his most noteworthy achievement is placing 257 in 1994 on the PWI 500. Most of the links quoted are for things other than this wrestler, that he has a memorial show is not enough to justify this article. Darrenhusted 18:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
... and he ran a promotion for ten years, and those famous wrestlers named in the article just happened to wrestle in his arena. Did you read this ? John Vandenberg 18:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did, there are a hundred small promotions running around the US, they are all not notable and those who run them are not notable. And the link is only 1/3 about Tony Rumble, and it tells you very little about him. He ran an indy, so? Name wrestlers wrestle for anyone who'll pay them ten bucks.

Keep Rumble is certainly notable as a New England wrestler, AfD here suggests deletionism. DanZero 04:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep How exactly is Tony Rumble not notable enough for an article? Everyone who is a fan knows who Tony Rumble is. Theperfectone 04:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment by the look of this AfD not "everyone" does. Darrenhusted 12:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sadly that is more a commentary on members of the Pro Wrestling wiki project rather than Tony Rumble. DanZero 15:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: this article has been copied to http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Transwiki:Tony_Rumble; see discussion at [2]. Let me know if I havent done it correctly. John Vandenberg 15:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
