A recent tournament that isn't very notable. As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SmackDown! Sprint (which was a recent tournament for a title shot), the PCS article doesn't need to exist. Relevant information can be listed relevant wrestler articles (if needed). RobJ1981 00:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• • The SD sprint wasn't a tournamnet, it was a series of Beat the Clock natches. TJ Spyke 01:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Aaru Bui ^DII 02:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep ... Come on, who cares if it wasn't for a title shot, I still think it was a fun event and I'd like to see this reference of it kept up. Smoke Rulz 02:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep It does have slight value... Alex43223 ^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 07:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sports-related deletions. -- SkierRMH 07:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Needs better sourcing, although the ones that exist do check out. Participants are also notable. RiseRobotRise 10:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It was noteable on TNA tapings, and it lasted quite a long while. The participants are also very notable, some of the best talents that TNA or RoH have to offer. TakerVersion1 11:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. The PCS just ended last night, and no title shot was awarded. A trophy was handed out, that's it. Wikipedia isn't a guide to every wrestling tournament. WWE has had tournaments last for weeks before: it doesn't mean every one of them should be here. RobJ1981 20:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep seems to be just notable enough ~ Joe Jklin (T C) 20:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Does not appear to meet notability standards. Soltak | Talk 22:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per nom and comments above.--Sir James Paul, La gloria è a dio 00:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Leave this page, the tournament was memorable especially for the return of wrestling legend Bob Backlund. Talk 21:48, 15 January 2007
• Delete per nom. Most of the Keeps seem to be of the WP:ILIKEIT variety. Resolute 03:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I've suggested on the WikiProject Professional wrestling talk page that it would be a good idea to look at possible ways to provide some sort of episodic information on wrestling shows in general. Possibilities might range from year-in-review or month-in-review style articles to articles focussing on multi-week storylines (like this one). The hope is to find a way to provide episodic information for wrestling shows similar to episodic information for other television series, but without getting into match-by-match or show-by-show details. Whether or not this article is kept in the short term, in the long term I think it would be prudent to find some consensus on how to handle this sort of information to bring wrestling show plotlines and other television show plot lines closer together in how they are presented. Dugwiki 22:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, one more thing. The reason to possibly keep would be because it is essentially a multi-episode synopsis of a notable television series. Since individual episode articles about notable television series appear to be generally accepted, you can reasonably argue that wrestling shows are essentially the same thing (only with more episodes per year). The flip side is that you might also argue that many of the episode articles for other types of television series should be deleted too. Either way, the main issue is one of being somewhat consistent in approaching how and what information about a television series to include in Wikipedia, and for wrestling shows what might eb a good, maintainable way to provide some of this sort of information. Dugwiki 22:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The tournament differed from standard wrestling tournaments and culminated in the TV return of Bob Backlund, amongst other things. TheDingbat 23:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Make a notation in Bob Backlund. The tournament does not deserve its own article. Soltak | Talk 00:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per all of my comments on the Smackdown Sprint AfD and the reasons listed above. I also feel that this unsourced article lacks the ability to be verified as strongly as Wikipedia requires even if someone were to put in the time and effort to look for sources. -- The Hybrid 00:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

A potential source of references would be official news articles TNA produced about the associated individual shows and PPV. I'm guessing a little digging on the TNA website would provide most of the verification you need as to what happened. Dugwiki 17:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep A unique event that was held for several weeks and even had the finals on a PPV and featured Bob Backlund. It justs needs better sourcing. TJ Spyke 01:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep I feel that this is a noteworthy artical. It would be best to keep it because they might have more than just one. Big Boss 0 14:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

AfDs don't work like that. If there had already been more than one, then that would be a good vote, but since there hasn't been it doesn't apply. It is like voting to keep some garage band because thay might make it big someday. -- The Hybrid 21:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete. Not all that notable, and can be referred to very briefly in the individual wrestler pages if necessary. --Dave. 22:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. As stated above: most of the keeps seem to be WP:ILIKEIT. Bob Backlund was a judge for the final: so what? If we listed every tournament that featured a big name as a judge (or wrestler), Wikipedia would be flooded with cruft. RobJ1981 00:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non notable wrestling tournament. The WP:ILIKEIT comments don't seem to take into account encyclopedic notability, they seem to be focussing on something that may be notable to a wrestling fan. One Night In Hackney 01:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Fairly Notable in my Opinion. It appeared on Two Pay Per Views, as well as lasting several weeks on television. All Characters hold encyclopedic notability in their own right, and the event was pretty Unique. In fact, it was the first, and maybe last of it's kind. Pvegeta 23:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep It was a significant event that took up much television time and featured notable participants. This isn't "some garage band" that no one has heard of. This is a series of vignettes and matches that people are interested in.
• Strong Keep This was undoubtably talked about TNA angles done. You could also consider to the point of TNA's internet phenominom, as I'm sure if you look through Youtube files they are the most watched TNA segments. These skits will be talked about for years to come. Whenever Kevin Nash is brought up, people will remember his rise when he signed with WCW but his huge fall when he returned to WWE. However, Nash actually winning the fans back so late in his career will always be thought of. The PCS challenge specifically. And that is far, far more important that many tournaments listed. Besides, it's just plain fun! Why do you have to ruin it for others?Crispen Raw 06:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. As per the deletion of Smackdown Sprint, the PCS isn't that notable. Just because wrestling fans like it, doesn't mean it's notable enough for wiki. Put it on a wrestling wikipedia. Do you realize, if Wikipedia had every wrestling thing you liked on it... it would be flooded? Fact: there is other sites on the internet for information on wrestling and it's events.
• Strong keep This needs to be kept. It was a significant part of wrestling over the past few months. If tournaments for TNA are kept, then this should, as well.
