[edit] Ronald Forest

Ronald Forest (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A sixteen year old Russian indy wrestler? Seems close to a hoax, not notable anyway. Darrenhusted 11:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Russian? Nick mallory 12:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Latvian then, all the same area. Darrenhusted 12:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Really pal, they're not the same thing at all. If you call a Latvian a Russian you're likely to get your block knocked off. Read a little history before you make entirely ignorant remarks like that. Nick mallory 12:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Do you want to vote, or nitpick? Darrenhusted 12:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
It's a stupid hoax that should have been speedied. I'm merely trying to stop you from regaling the world with your ignorance. If you think Latvians and Russians are the same thing you should spend more time reading Wikipedia and no time writing on it. Nick mallory 12:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Then vote, and quit nit picking. Darrenhusted 12:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax despite nominator's rationale and attitude. Nick mallory 12:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete Outside of the fact that Ronald Forest doesn't sound very Latvian, this guy's 16, "competes" in an unverified league, and was trained "by himself"? Yeah, non-notable and a hoax. Let's cover all the bases.--Ispy1981 11:19, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom's rationale. --Evb-wiki 13:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, even if he's a legit wrestler. Throw it over the top rope. Realkyhick 15:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete: There's a "Latvian Wrestling Federation," but it's the IOC-aligned Greco-Roman sanctioning body. This one is almost certainly a hoax. (And that aside, a strong dose of WP:CIVIL is appropriate here.)  RGTraynor  15:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Very Weak Delete, My only concern is if this person really does exist.. If he does exisit then yes I would say he is notable.. Propably notable in his country, where Greco-Rman style wrestling is much more popular then our "professional" wrestling. The Lavian Wrestling is an affiliate of Latvian Olympic Committee and a member of the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles. Just because we are from America does not mean that other countries "notables" are not notable.. If someone could prove to me that this person exisits then I would meke this a KEEP.

Comment: Err ... quite aside from the improbability of a Latvian teenager named "Ronald Forest", from where do you get that wrestling is all that popular in Latvia?  RGTraynor  19:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Raised Eyebrow, seriously Callelinea? Darrenhusted 16:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, completely unsourced, probable hoax. NawlinWiki 18:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sounds like a backyard wrestler from the information given.. ThePerfectOne 18:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC
  • Delete. Delete. Delete some more. Edited in total by four different users.
  • Two of the users have edited this page, and nothing else.
  • Another user vandalised the page by calling the wrestler a "retard"
  • Another user was nothing but an IP Address, who has edited nothing but this article in the past month, and 2 articles ever
Information is unsourced and ludacris (lawl). Send it with the rest --SteelersFan UK06 02:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, per other users. Hoax or not...this article is about a non-notable wrestler. Nikki311 05:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, he must be very thin, he's 6ft and only 160lbs. And his co-workers are both redlinks with distinctly un-Latvian names. Darrenhusted 20:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
