[edit] Smackdown! Spoiler

Smackdown! spoilers (note non-proper noun capitalization) are regular features on a bunch of websites, they're self-explanatory, and they are not syndicated the way the article implies they are. If anything about these spoilers can be said, it could be said on the Smackdown! article. hateless 20:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• I was picturing wrestlers with aerodynamic wings on their backs. Since that's not the case, I'd suggest a merge and redirect to the main Smackdown! article, though I wouldn't be opposed to deleting this outright. --Elkman 21:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

• Don't delete this article. It is still a work in progress and the Smackdown spoiler is a major part of WWE Smackdown! for the simple fact that many wrestling fans read the Spoiler before Smackdown! and FYI The Smackdown Spoiler only appears on non WWE websites and nowhere in my article do I imply the Smackdown Spoiler! is syndicated. I know there are various different websites with their on Smackdown Spoilers and I will specify that in the article. All I need is a few days to gather all my information. I even have the years that the Smackdown Spoiler was read on the WWE website by Lucas from 2000-2001. Hey, if you absolutely feel that you have to delete this article then go ahead but I will be putting it right back up with more information.—Preceding unsigned comment added by EasyAttack (talk • contribs)

Comment: You can put your data on the main Smackdown! article, there's no need for a separate page. And if you don't want to imply there's one "Spoiler" that runs on different sites, don't capitalize the word. If the article is deleted, don't recreate the article, it'll just get speedy deleted instead. hateless 22:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The page seems useless. Plus in order to keep kayfabe, members of WP:PW including myself don't particularly like to include spoilers in professional wrestling articles. --Oakster ^(Talk) 20:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Oakster. Kimchi.sg 14:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with Smackdown, lots of shows have spoilers, but if an announcer did indeed read these on the show as part of a regular feature, than it is indeed notable, but still thiers no reason why this can't be included in the main article. Deathawk 18:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and merge with Smackdown!. This doesn't need its own article. Voice of Treason 23:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This could just be one sentence in the main Smackdown! article and you've got it covered. SubSeven 00:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The content of this article is basically its self-explanatory title, namely, that spoilers about Smackdown! can be found between the taping date and the airdate. --Metropolitan90 01:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. —Khoikhoi 03:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
