Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hade Vansen

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was KEEP. Bundling these together was really not very clever. Once the comments start to diverge on individual athletes it becomes next to impossible to untangle them and reach a decision on each individual case. This was really an abuse of WP:BUNDLE, the articles are unrelated other than being in the same sport. As a group, the decision has to be keep based on debate participation.

Delete (Hade Vansen)- Google search shows a lot of tabloid news sites and not much else. Struggles to fulfil WP:N to be honest. BerleT (talk) 07:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note:- I have merged other new AFDs with this one as they tackle very similar articles of people with very similar backgrounds and about the same claim (or non-claim) to notability. Feedback ^☎ 16:38, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- These pages just have to go. Just being signed to a contract doesn't make someone notable. Hade had a few vignettes on Smackdown and the others didn't do anything of note. Not one of them actually had a run on TV. It's time we remove all this cruft. Feedback ^☎ 16:38, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - these seem sufficiently notable (within their subgenre). – SJ + 03:09, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Pro wrestling is a tabloid-friendly subgenre, but I don't see why that is a reason to delete these bios. All have cites, and seem to have been at least regionally known. – SJ + 21:13, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hade Vansen, no comment on others. Hade is one of the more notable british wrestlers of the 00s. Just because he never made much impact in the US, doesn't mean he is NN 5.70.13.145 (talk) 16:53, 21 March 2013 (UTC) — 5.70.13.145 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I find it odd that your first contribution to Wikipedia was this AFD discussion. Could you explain that to us?

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep all - Biographies are good, especially in a sports context. They're referenced, they hold water, they stay. End of. Humblesnore (talk) 03:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We aren't talking about references, we are talking about notability. Three of them aren't appear in a major promotion and aren't know in notable indy promotion (Scolum appeared in WWE, but only two weeks). Only wrestled in a minor promotion and some of them are retired. I don't see any notability. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
