2017 WWE Superstar Shake-up

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable event. Predominately relies on primary sources. There does not appear to be a breath of coverage as justified at: Wikipedia:Notability (events) Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:35, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Every other "draft" the company has had has an article. What makes this different? More sources will come. Give it a little time to build up before jumping on the delete button. -- JDC808  ♫  01:39, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Please read Other stuff exists Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I know about that. Doesn't change my point. You're jumping on this way too early. -- JDC808  ♫  01:43, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Come on now. Lets not get silly. This is a significant event in the world of pro wrestling and definitely shouldn't gey deleted. -- ZSJUSA 01:39, 12 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep for 120 days and then reevaluate. Knox490 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - As I see, you also nominated to delete the article about WWE Draft 2016. Every draft has own article, especially 2008-2010 as featured articles. It's a notable event, changes storylines played on TV and others. --Wybielacz (talk) 01:51, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking over that keep/delete discussion, almost all the points to keep for that article can be applied here. -- JDC808  ♫  02:41, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep It's last year all over again. It has significant coverage (The AV Club, FOX Sports, CBS Sports, Daily Mirror etc.). Failure to perform WP:BEFORE. Nickag 989 talk 07:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Neutral note Please note AfD rationales are keep, delete, redirect and merge, not oppose/unoppose; please keep this in mind and change your rationales for proper tracking by admins and bots.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 09:45, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep It's a major promotion [WWE] that's having a draft, which makes it significantly notable. Optimistic Wikipedian (User_talk:Optimistic Wikipedian) 13:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Just like every other year's draft article. Nomination is a waste of time just like last year's deletion nomination. Great Dessert (talk) 21:22, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep The WWE Draft and the WWE Superstar shake-up play a very relevant role in the WWE. It's a tradition of the WWE since the start of the brand extension. Also, as with the other WWE draft articles, it must not be deleted as there might be additional sources (Pro Wrestling Torch, Bleacher Report, Cageside Seats, WhatCulture Wrestling, etc.). Hansen Sebastian 16:05, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The latter three sources are not reliable per WP:PW/RS, but your statement is solid. Nickag 989 talk 16:26, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep per reliable source coverage -- w L &lt;speak&middot;check&gt; 03:34, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep- I do agree that it was a significant event in WWE History. But I would recommend adding this page as a subpage in WWE draft- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_draft — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbirCB (talk • contribs) 16:14, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * And that means that we should do the same thing with 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 (featured article), 2009 (featured article), 2010 (featured article), 2011, and 2016, right? Well, that's just redundant. Nickag 989 talk 18:33, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Keep - you did the same thing with last year's draft and it was agreed to be kept so why try it again with this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwefan5x (talk • contribs) 02:38, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
