[edit] Jimmy Rave

Jimmy Rave (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This biographical article violates WP:V, WP:BLP, WP:BIO and WP:NOR. To the minimal extent it is sourced at all, it uses non-reliable internet sources that mostly address the article's subject only in passing, not at all or are unreachable. Sandstein 06:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment While it could use a few more sources (BTW, WP:BLP is basically just a collection of other policies), but he is very notable on the indy circuit and is now a full time roster in the second largest wrestling promotion in North America (TNA). TJ Spyke 08:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Just throwing out a list of WP:'s don't make it so. Jimmy Rave is plenty notable per above. Shortage of sources is reason to improve the article, not to delete it. Bacchiad 02:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • You have edited the above comment to read "keep". Please do not alter the comments of others; see WP:TPG. Sandstein 05:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I apologize, Sandstein. That edit was an error, I think from blind of use cut-paste too late at night. Thank you for assuming good faith. Bacchiad 12:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Wrestling-related deletions.
  • Keep and question why this is here Since when is deletion a solution to an issue of sourcing? The sourcing issue itself is a whole other ball of wax - there aren't "reliable" sources on the topic enough to satisfy many editors. The solution to this issue is not deletionism.
