Batista and Rey Mysterio
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable tag team. They have not done anything since an article on them was deleted in 2007 (in the 2 years since that AFD, they have teamed up only 1 time).  TJ   Spyke   06:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: IMO they have done enough to warrant an article and we certainly have enough reliable sources and information to have a decent article.-- Will C  07:19, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * How are they notable? They were a team for 3 weeks and had a 2 week reign as champions. If you want to lower the bar that low, there would be hundreds of more articles on tag teams that were together for a brief period and held gold ("Rick Steiner and Kenny Kaos", "John Cena and Batista", "John Cena and Shawn Michaels", etc.). They weren't in any notable feuds, weren't in any notable storylines, didn't do anything notable (it's been established in many AFD's that just winning a tag title doesn't make a team notable). The article only has 1 source (a primary source listing all the history of the tag title). You can find sources on ANY tag team. Nothing has changed since the last AFD, they weren't notable then and thy haven't done anything to become notable in this past 2 years.  TJ   Spyke   07:52, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
