• Keep He's the Zombie! The Zombie! You have got to be fucking kidding me that he doesn't deserve an article. He gets well over 750 hits on google "ECW Zombie" and is a very popular wrestler. Dannycali 00:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
• Question: could someone explain why his role in ECW and others is not notable? There is a reasonable amount of media coverage of this. John Vandenberg 10:29, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
• Answer He was on one episode of ECW, he lost to the Sandman, he was never seen again, each week on HeAt there are six or seven jobbers, some of who wrestle several times, and they are not notable. He is an indy wrestler with a novel TV appearance, the bar for notablitity within Pro-Wrestling is higher than that. Darrenhusted 12:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
• Question: the article says "He was the first wrestler to walk out for a match on ECW on Sci Fi. He would even wrestle in the very first match, losing a short squash to The Sandman." Im not 100% sure what that means, but it sounds like he was involved in the first fight on ECW on Sci Fi. Is that correct? I would expect that the details of the first fight would be mentioned in the article ECW on Sci Fi. John Vandenberg 02:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
• Also, I have just noticed that he twice won a title in a World Wrestling Council, a Puerto Rico pro league. Doesnt that mean he meets the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (people) for Athletes... "Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis" ? John Vandenberg 02:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

• Using that logic then ALL professional wrestlers are notable because they compete for a "fully professional league", that only works where the "amateur" and "pro" version of the sports are sufficiently similar. MPJ-DK 11:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Arson has been successful down in Puerto Rico in addition to his memorable stint as The Zombie for the WWE's ECW. DanZero 04:19, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
