[edit] Empire Wrestling Federation

Empire Wrestling Federation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable wrestling promotion, no third party sources, fails WP:CORP One Night In Hackney 17:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep: see newly added mainstream references - 128.241.40.27

• Comment It would have been helpful if you had added the references before removing the prod tag, then we wouldn't be here now. Nomination withdrawn, close please. One Night In Hackney 19:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Referenced on major wrestling news websites (PWInsider, Obsessed with Wrestling), etc. Hard to judge this type of organization under WP:Corp, because any wrestling group is likely to be mentioned on these sites, and almost no group other than the WWE and possibly one or two others are likely to be mentioned in the mainstream media. They've existed for more than ten years, run shows regularly, and would seem to be of interest to the indy wrestling fan. Equivalent to a single-a baseball team, which would be kept.

• Keep per Citicat's reasoning. Mathmo ^Talk 00:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep More notable than other wrestling promotions. EWF has been around for a long time, and has been acknowledged many times by WWF and WCW. Bad faith nom. -- bulletproof ^3:16 00:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless some notability is shown in the article. TJ Spyke 02:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

How do the sources not suffice for notability? (ps im the first strong keep above)

• Keep and Clean Up - I feel this meets the notability guidelines, but there is too much in the intro and not enough in the body. This is not a reason to delete it; I'm just mentioning it. Diffuse some of the information out of the opening and into subsections. -- The Hybrid 02:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
