[edit] Bubblegum (wrestler)

I did a google search for this wrestler, and it didn't come up with any decent searches. Seems to be a lesser wrestler that isn't that known. Wikipedia isn't the place for any wrestler. RobJ1981 08:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• This doesn't appear to be a valid nomination as insufficient reason was given. Regardless, keep as the article is completely verifiable. Dan100 (Talk) 08:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep give me some time and i will make this article better.. as Bubblegum is well-known British cruiserweight -- Paulley 10:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

There you go... a good article on Phil Blitz (aka Bubblegum). upto standard and worth keeping --- Paulley

It being a good article or not doesn't matter, it didn't turn up much on Google and appears to be non-notable. RobJ1981 22:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure the British wrestling fans would consider him notable. Just because he's not known in the States doesn't mean he can't be considered notable elsewhere. With that said, at the same time, Google does turn up relatively little about him, so I'm not sure on his notability myself. James Duggan 22:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thoguh that is mainly because of his name bringing up results for the chewing gum... if you try his name plus one of the promotion he works for i.e NBW you can see that its a different story --- Paulley

• Delete. It's a decent article, but even after reading it he seems like a non-notable wrestler. TJ Spyke 00:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Even though I'm not a UK wrestling fan, the gist I get from the article is that he's attained some exposure but not necessarily enough notoriety to warrant an entry YET. Deputy Marshall 00:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Wikipedia is actually the place for [wrestlers], it's the place for an infinite number of topics. I don't know a thing about English professional wrestling and therefore can't really judge how notable a wrestler he is, however my keep is per Dan100's reasoning. Dina 16:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment There's actually some discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling in regards to the notability of wrestlers of various levels that may turn into a larger project. Right now, the suggestion is that unless they've worked for one of the Big Three companies, notability is pretty suspect. But... not sure how that works towards English wrestlers. I'm neutral.

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Bubblegum is fast becoming one of the biggest names in british Professional wrestling and is working all over the UK and Ireland. He certainly belongs here.
• Keep Just because the wrestler is not widely known does not mean his entry is subject to deletion. The article is factual and accurate and should be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.197.183 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 9 September 2006
• Keep, wrestler appearantly notable to the wrestling community. bbx 18:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
