[edit] Unified Wrestling Alliance

More fantasy roleplaying wrestling. No more notable than a fantasy football league. See also Extreme Measures Federation. RickK 08:00, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

  • Be fair -- Even if you're ambivalent or simply not a fan, that should not be enough of a reason to delete the entry. That's like me voting to have Infinity or Entercom's entries deleted because I work for Clear Channel, or I want bird watching taken out because it doesn't interest me. jrgnyr
  • Until there's an informative article on "Fantasy wrestling" that persuades me otherwise, this seems extraordinarily trivial stuff, written up in a somewhat breathless style that has a presumably unintended comedic value. So, what is "fantasy wrestling"? Google led me to this, which suggests to me it's a bit like betting on wrestling ... but without actually betting. So it's merely like a glorified pub conversation or similar. If I'm wrong, please write Fantasy wrestling to enlighten me. In the meantime, delete. (Yes, I'm watching this page, and I may revise my vote.) -- Hoary 09:41, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
    • Well well, the red link for Fantasy wrestling has now turned blue. I learn that my previous picture of FW was wrong, but precious little else. How can you roleplay wrestling? -- Hoary 02:07, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fantasy football gets television programmes and newspaper article, fantasy cricket gets major newspapers running it, fantasy wrestling... well, as far as I know it doesn't. So if writing an article on fantasy wrestling is a complete waste of time that would fail to prove significance or inflence, what is writing one on one minor group that does fantasy wrestling?

  • Delete, doesn't establish notability. --W(t) 14:30, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
  • Keep. The page is in horrible shape now, and is of questionable notability, but in the interest of eventualism, I propose to give it a chance to improve. I added a cleanup tag to the article, and if the page survives the deletion vote I intend to list it at Cleanup under Hobbies. I am watching it as well, and if it does not improve with time, then I would support deletion. EvilPhoenix
    • By extension, every single fantasy football or baseball league in existence should have their own article. There are tens of thousands of them on Yahoo! alone. RickK 19:56, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. RickK is of course correct. Quale 23:58, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Again agree with RickK. Mcfly85 03:29, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 03:49, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Fantasy wrestling has its own category (so i added it on there)... im sure someone will pick it up and have it looking ship shape in no time. -- Paulley 22:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
