[edit] The LilsBoys

The LilsBoys (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Vanispamcruftisement. Unsourced BLP. Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO for journalists. Contested prod. MER-C 02:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. A case could be made for the article if there were reliable sources. I'd revisit my recommendation if they were provided, but in their absence, I agree with the nom about BLP. —C.Fred (talk) 02:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have added sources and external links to this. In terms of WP:BIO you only have to look how many wrestler's WikiPedia entries The Sun Newspaper is listed in to see that they certainly should be kept - as they are the authors of every piece. 22:18, 8 May 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.47.160.244 (talk) 21:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
  • Weak delete Doesn't meet WP:BIO, despite being a good article. ¿SFGiДnts! ☺ ☻ 23:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep If they are the principal writers for this sport on a major paper, they're probably N. DGG 02:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep WP:BIO says that "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field." In the field of wrestling The LilsBoys articles are exactly that. Just on Wikipedia, either they or their articles for the UK Sun are mentioned in the entries for Dixie Carter, Dave Bautista, Jeff Jarrett, Matt Hardy, Maria Kanellis, Joanie Laurer, Jeff Hardy, Amy Dumas, Joel Ross, Greg Lambert, Dean Ayass (Rothstein 22:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)).
