Continental Wrestling Entertainment
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This wrestling organisation does not meet the standard of notability set out in NCORP. This criteria states that significant coverage addressing the subject directly and in depth is required. Almost all sources both within the article and online contain only brief, passing mentions. Most sources available only briefly mention the name of the organisation in discussion of a wrestler currently associated with the organisation. There is no in depth coverage addressing Continental Wrestling Entertainment directly. Coverage often consists of quotes directly from the head of the organisation. Previous AFD has seen this deleted. Some minor improvement since, but insufficient to meet NCORP.

I should also point out that the username of the person who created this article is BlueberrySrinivas. Blueberry is a digital marketing agency, and the second part of the name links to an employee. I am assuming good faith given I have no evidence of undisclosed COI editing, and the editor denies having a COI. However I consider their response of "blueberry is my favourite fruit" to be insufficient insofar as assuaging my concerns that this is marketing for an organisation. The editor has made most of their other contributions to Wikipedia in the wrestling space using primary sources. While of course regardless of article quality, it should stay if sufficiently notable, I felt it appropriate to let contributors be aware of this factor in their decision.

This may also be suitable for a redirect to The Great Khali who founded this organisation. He is notable, however his company does not inherit his notability. MaxnaCarta (talk) 08:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 'The Great Khali' would be an elegant alternative to deletion as this business does, indeed, fail WP:NCORP. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Alexandermcnabb yeah agree, redirect to that page would work! MaxnaCarta (talk) 10:44, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Certainly does seem to fulfill NCORP. References are not an issue. There are some reliable ones which appear on Google News when the org full name is used. I'll add them if I get the time this week. Also comparing to the earlier AfD is pointless. That was four years ago. Coverage was also low back then. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 00:10, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect per nom and Alexander - NCORP fail. All sources that are not otherwise unreliable are trivia mentions only and concentrate on former and current WWE talent. Addicted4517 (talk) 06:32, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep CWE is pioneer organisation of pro wrestling in India. The country have a huge fan following of pro wrestling. The is serving as info source. You can tag it as a stub but deleting it, not appropriate according to me.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 12:45, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: Relisting. There seems to be disagreement over whether this subject fails or fulfills WP:NCORP. More policy-based arguments would help bring this to a close, whether Kept or Redirected. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Keep CWE is the largest promotion in India and has over 4 million subscribers, that alone warrants a page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueberrysrinivas (talk • contribs) 19:57, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Original research like this is not a valid argument. You need to prove these claims with independent reliable sources and in detail as well. Addicted4517 (talk) 23:12, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Great Khali. This is an organization therefore WP:NORG applies. None of the references meet the specific criteria for establishing notability, best solution is a redirect as per WP:ATD.  HighKing++ 19:14, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Great Khali. The important information could be preserved there, and could be re-split later, if warranted. Joyous! | Talk 17:30, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
