fails WP:BIO...some people may say that because he is employed by OVW he is notable, but there are hundreds of wrestlers who have been employed by OVW over the years who don't qualify for their own Wikipedia article DragonKidfan432 04:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Agree in failing of WP:BIO. No indepetant sources of notibility say anything.--Dacium 04:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep He isn't only just working for OVW, he's under contract with WWE.MikeH411 20:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment: WWE has under contract over 460 people, according to this source [1], so that's not a valid reason for inclusion, and I think every Wikipedian would agree that not every WWE employee deserves a Wikipedia article.DragonKidfan432 20:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment: Yeah, but the majority of those employees are behind the scenes people. Of course they shouldn't be notable. But he's a regular on-air performer on the OVW show. There's a difference there.MikeH411 20:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Just because he is in OVW, doesn't make him that notable. As said before: many people have been employed by OVW over the years... all aren't notable. I think people just need to wait more (to see if the person becomes notable or not) before creating articles on all these OVW wrestlers. Yes, many do make it to WWE... but many don't, and end up fired. RobJ1981 22:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable. The article could be improved but my vote does not count on improving te article. Dwain 00:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Just being in OVW is not notable. People can pay to enter and get trained. And even if he has a WWE contract then he needs to accompish something before being notable. ↪Lakes (Talk) 09:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment There's such a huge difference between paying "to enter and get trained" and receiving a a developmental contract from the largest wrestling promotion in the world that I'm surprised you'd even use that as a claim against notablity. They don't give those out to every Tom, Dick, And Harry on the indy wrestling scene. Also, paying "to enter and get trained" doesn't get you put on the OVW roster, nor does working a one off show for the promotion, for that matter. Vladamire Steelwolf 13:54, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I am saying Keep, because it looks like he is going to be on SmackDown. Govvy 17:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
