Long article on nonnotable fantasy/Internet "wrestling league"; 13 unique Ghits. NawlinWiki 03:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• This is the greatest Wikipedia link of all time. Its sweet8 and everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JSKANK88 (talk • contribs) (article creator)

• KPW is great. Who are you to doubt them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.112.215.128 (talk • contribs) (user's only edit)
• Delete as spam for a site that would fail WP:WEB. Wikipedia is not myspace. --DarkAudit 17:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. hateless 18:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Jeez Louise. That's really all I have to say. -- Kicking222 18:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Good Lord! Delete, spam for a non-notable website for a non-notable organization. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 19:34, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all deletes above, looks like a worthy WP:SNOW candidate. Can we go one day without a backyard wrestling article? --Kinu ^t/_c 21:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• First of all, no, this isn't a "backyard wrestling article" as you so put it Kinu. Secondly, this isn't spam for a site that would fail. The site is anything but failing. We have new participants at a contant rate. By putting something on here, it allows more people to get an introduction to a game that is fun to play. I for one say Do Not Delete the article. Then again, what do I know. I'm simply a wrestling fan, a group of people who are looked down upon by the rest of civilization for watching "fake rasslin", and I'm also a gamer, yet another group of people who are looked down upon and considered "geeks" who live in their parent's basement. We're people, just like the rest of you, and we're simply trying to reach other people. --187inthe317
  • Comment: It seems that many wrestling leagues have been posting articles recently, most likely out of sheer coincidence, and I apologize if my comment was somewhat coarse and based on that generalization. However, please note that AfD is not a debate as to the merits of wrestling, its fans, etc., but whether the article itself meets the "rough justice" Wikipedia criteria for inclusion. In this case, the guideline used by other editors is WP:WEB, and unfortunately no evidence from reliable sources is presented that such is the case. You are more than welcome to address those issues so that the community may make a more informed decision. Thanks! --Kinu ^t/_c 04:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• there is no message anywhere telling people to come here and say KPW should stay. KPW wont fail, it's still running and means alot to the people who are a part of it. Hell, they gave up time to write this long article. I say keep it. Introduce new people to a fun game, that anyone can do. And i have too much respect for wrestlers to attempt any backyard wrestling. KPW is electronic, not set up in someones garden.
