[edit] Michael DiBiase Jr.

Michael DiBiase Jr. (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

nn independent wrestler, main claim to fame is being son of famous wrestler. Booshakla 06:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Has only competed in leagues which may themselves fail notability, therefore doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). —dgiestc 09:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
  • KEEP - The DiBiase wrestling family is a big part of professional wrestling. Michael DiBiase Jr. is a third generation superstar, has been trained by the likes of wrestling legends Chris Romero and Harley Race. He is currently out with an injury but is on the verge of signing with World Wrestling Entertainment. The DiBiase family has a huge fan following in the pro-wrestling business and the next generation of that family deserves a page on Wiki as much as any other wrestler.
    • When he signs with WWE, then maybe he's notable. Until then, he's got nothing, and sponging off dad or grandpa for notability doesn't cut it. --UsaSatsui 16:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The wrestling equivalent of a minor-leaguer, whatever his family background. And "on the verge of" signing with WWE? WP ain't a crystal ball. --Calton | Talk 06:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete every article has a price, this one can't afford the notability. MLA 11:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Insert evil laugh and delete. Biggspowd 16:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. He may get there, but not now. Until then, maybe redirect to Ted DiBiase? --UsaSatsui 16:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looks like this one isn't even a contest, but I say keep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burquelo (talk • contribs)
    • Well, it's not a vote. If you feel so strongly it's a keep, despite what we say, please tell us why you feel that way. Put forth a good argument, you may change minds (and remember to sign your posts).--UsaSatsui 21:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • keep. You people are getting way to delete happy around here. He sounds notable to me. I say let it stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.113.4 (talk • contribs)
    • Great! Why should we let it stay? --UsaSatsui 09:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. If you look at wrestlers on Wikipedia from Ring of Honor and other Indy Promotions that are on WP, what claim to fame do they have for being on Wiki? Because they may have jobbed to Samoa Joe? Ring of Honor, why it is popular on The East Coast, it's still an Indy fed and yet every member of their roster has a WP page. Michael DiBiase is just as notable as any of those indy wrestlers and should be allowed to keep his WP page.
