Non Notable wrestler. Darrenhusted 00:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

*Delete this fellow can't be too notable if the article's author can't keep the spelling of his surname consistant throughout. Rewrite appears to establish notability. Keep Bigdaddy1981

  • KEEP Wikipedia should be inclusive not exclusive. I am a firm believer that most bios should be allowed to remain. All bios need is sources and a minimal standard of notability. The larger Wikipedia is the best of a resource it is. One million articles is much better that one hundred thousand articles. It should be a source of information on the most trivial matters to the most important. Callelinea 04:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Okay, so you don't like our notability criteria, no need to prove a point by trying to impose your criteria on debates where we use the actual criteria. This user has been spamming several debates with this BTW. Morgan Wick 07:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep * Delete KEEP For one thing, Pourteau/Porteau is used somewhat interchangably by those not familiar with the wrestler. That said, he had a run in the bigs and is an active indy name, so I say he's plenty notable for wikipedia. DanZero 04:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment In retrospect, Porteau isn't really *that* notable and the pro wrestling project here would be better served having detailed pages on worthy wrestlers Reckless Youth comes to mind, here - and not almost-were wrestlers.--DanZero 16:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment Yeah, the revised article is *definitely* worthy of inclusion.--DanZero 03:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

*Delete despite possible delusions of grandeur, appears to be nothing more than enhancement talent. CitiCat 05:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Weak keep did appear on WWF Raw[1] (even winning a match), appears enough to keep. CitiCat 05:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Doesn't pass notability SirFozzie 16:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep In 1996-1997, he was a pushed superstar in WWF, known as "The Pug" and had his own theme song. Very notable wrestler, has been a big part of the biggest organizations. Dannycali 03:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Active with WWF, WCW, NWO. Limited roles, but counted together, probably counts as enough. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 05:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment well for a 20 year veteran the only support on this page is his official page. Darrenhusted 11:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've re-written the article and added sources. Porteau is notable and, although he did not achieve much success, was a part of many of the top promotions. Including the WWF, WCW, GWF, USWA and WWC. A-Dust 23:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • CommentI've done a few minor tweaks to your otherwise fine edits A-Dust - mainly in regards to certain built in templates for height, weight, age, country/state flags. I also corrected your citation style to be in line with the generally accepted way of doing it (so that it repeats the same reference instead of 6 individual lines) - If you're interested in any of the edits or not sure what I did feel free to ask me on my user page and I'll be happy to help you out with your Wikipedia editing.

  • Comment provided other editors are happy with the re-write (if you want to contact them A-Dust) then I'll withdraw the nom becuase the article is drastically improved. Darrenhusted 08:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The article is much better, I withdraw my nomination. If anyone wants to close this as a keep then I have no objections. Darrenhusted 15:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
