[edit] Mass transit incident

Unsourced confusing nonsense, probable hoax or prank. Apparently copied from the description text of a Youtube video, as found here, that has since been removed "due to terms of use violation" .

• Strong keep. It appears to be a notable event. See here, here and here. Should be cleaned up, however. I cleaned it up a bit. Aplomado - UTC 19:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: If this article ends up being kept, I'll probably turn this page into a redirect to "Mass Transit incident," since the current title has bad capitalization. Aplomado - UTC 19:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral. Okay, it's verifiable, but do we need an article witha all the details on every assault and battery case between two people of limited notoriety? Is there going to be an article about Russell Crowe hitting a hotel employee with a telephone, too? Of course not: that incident is mentioned in his bio and gets one sentence, which is appropriate. This is just too much attention for something too trivial, IMO. Slowmover 19:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Okay, it's better. Kicking and screaming, I change my vote to weak keep. Slowmover 20:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per aplomado. Bucketsofg 20:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. A significant event in the history of ECW, and arguably pro-wrestling in general. Delayed their arrival on the PPV arena by about two years and possibly kept them from challenging WCW or the (then) WWF. Usonophile 00:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oops, didn't noticed the retracted nom. Shouldn't the notice on the page be deleted? Usonophile 00:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Go ahead and vote now that it's been nominated. Aplomado - UTC 01:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename Mass Transit incident, since 'Mass Transit' in context is a proper name. Peter Grey 07:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Already noted. Aplomado - UTC 07:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to ECW Mass Transit incident or Mass Transit incident (ECW) or something similar, as there are many incidents involving mass transit a year, and this is way too general a name. Proto||type 09:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
