Split developmental roster on List of WWE personnel?

I was thinking, since everybody in the Developmental roster is in NXT, maybe we should split the roster to who appears on WWE NXT that airs overseas and on Hulu Plus and who is just appearing at NXT Wrestling live events. The reason behind this is because on the WWE NXT site on WWE.com, there is a section showing the NXT wrestlers who appear on the program. What do you guys think? Keith Okamoto (talk) 23:25, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's needlessly splitting hairs. Regardless of where they appear, they are all WWE developmental wrestlers, and so fit nicely under this header. As this is a list of WWE personnel (not NXT), I think dividing them this way is inappropriately specific. I can also foresee edit wars each time someone makes their first (perhaps one-time) appearance on NXT TV. I think it would be easier and more appropriate to have a note in the Notes column saying so-and-so has yet to appear on NXT TV. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:13, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

agree with Hulk. Starship.paint (talk) 13:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was just an idea, but I now see it was a bad idea. Still, most of the NXT roster has yet to make an official appearance on TV and still working at house shows. How about we mark those who hasn't appear on TV as either A. "Yet to appear on NXT TV" or B. "Yet to appear on NXT, working in house shows". Keith Okamoto (talk) 17:25, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sharing ideas is good, even bad ones. Either of the notes you propose sounds OK to me, though "working house shows" (without "in") is grammatically proper, in a wrestling context. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the notes sound fine. Starship.paint (talk) 13:18, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on this site as a source?

I ran across WrestlingData the other day, and was blown away. Not just by the ridiculous size of it and the many useful ways to view the data, but by how I haven't noticed it in the twelve years it's apparently been around. But then I noticed an Edit button, and my bullshit alarm buzzed a bit. I've done some minor digging, but can't establish just how much of this is user-submitted and/or fact-checked, or what those processes involve. I've spent a few hours browsing, and haven't seen any obvious factual errors, based on what I know (quite a bit). But there's a LOT more here I'm totally unfamiliar with (most of the 1860s results, for example. RadioKAOS?) and it could be nothing but lies, for all I know. I say it leans toward legit, all things considered, and its scope makes the Internet Wrestling Database look like WWE.com.

What do you folks think or know about its Reliable Sourciness? Should we list it in the MoS? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:27, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not knocking the Internet Wrestling Database, by the way. It's a fine site, and still growing. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:33, 24 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]

I wouldn't count on it, the fact that it has no sources that verify the information is an automatic red flag. Although it may have been around for 10+ years, the fact that its user contributed isn't always reliable. Think of Wikipedia itself, the information on here in general isn't reliable unless we source it. What sources do they cite? I can't find any that they cite. --Truco ⁵⁰³ 23:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
