Bash at the Beach (2016)

It doesn't seem that there is significant coverage of this event in independent reliable sources. The sources for the claim that the event will be broadcast on the WWE network don't seem reliable (the 1st is a boxing site, and the 2nd link does not work), and the WWE list it as being just a live event (which are usually not notable), not one being broadcast: ). It seems it's broadcast status, and title, may be a hoax. This website:, for example, refers to a tweet apparently from WWE_Hawaii twitter account which is non existent, and the link to the tweet does not work.

I think this should only be re-created if we have confirmation that it will be a WWE Network event or PPV (which are generally notable), or significant coverage in reliable sources (as per usual notability standard).

I also propose WWE: Live In Hawaii and WWE_Live_in_Hawaii_(2016) for deletion under the same rationale, as they refer to the same event. Silverfish (talk) 12:58, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment All those articles (and more variations) were created by the same editor - I guess not understanding the Move option.  One is already marked as Db-same and the other will just a redirect and will go as a mater of course.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:09, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I proposed them for deletion here too, to make doubly sure they are not missed if this article is deleted. Silverfish (talk) 14:09, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG. The list of reliable sources for professional wrestling is here at WP:PW/RS. Now, the reason this article was created is due to very recent rumours on unreliable websites (within the last week). Searching the reliable sources for any info for Bash at the Beach from 1 January 2016 yields a total of four results, but only one refers to a future Bash at the Beach instead of the past 1995 or 1996 or 2000 event. The rumours of it being a Network special have not been confirmed by WWE or WWE.com starship.paint ~  KO   13:05, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless this show is confirmed as a Network event, it should be deleted. Also there is no reliable source confirming the name as Bash At The Beach either. OldSkool01 (talk) 14:22, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fails GNG.LM2000 (talk) 21:20, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment According to Reddit, Wrestling Observer Newsletter (a reliable source), has confirmed that this will not be a network special. Silverfish (talk) 09:25, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete If it does happen as a Network event then add it back under the correct title. For the moment delete it. Darrenhusted (talk) 19:52, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - in its current form it's not notable, just a house show. Sure a stacked one but still just a house show and a paid vacation for those going.  MPJ  -US 10:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fails GNG, no proof of this taking place. Chris &#34;WarMachineWildThing&#34; (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
