DNA (Josh Edwards)

Doesn't appear to pass notability threshold, as HTWA doesn't appear to be a notable wrestling circuit. Google search for "Josh Edwards" HTWA returns zero hits. Marasmusine (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. First of all, sorry if i mess up in this discussion, im pretty much a noob. I am Josh Edwards and i created the page. I can give you the emails of several people who can verify everything i said on the page. My accomplishments are not on any website, which is why i spend an hour of my life learning how to write a Wiki page so i could post my accomplishments. I assure you that just because my life isnt necessarily documented on the world wide web, it doesnt mean my life doesnt exist at all. Joshuathefallenangel (talk) 21:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * People aren't reliable sources; try reading WP:RS for what is a reliable source. Also please read our notability criteria. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Josh, it's encouraging that you've been learning how to write wiki pages, but you ought to read Autobiography. Marasmusine (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Josh, no one's denying your existence; it's your notability that's in question here. That your accomplishments are not documented, and that you yourself are the author of the article, indicate that perhaps you don't pass the notability threshold required for the article. It's also not a great a sign that the wrestling circuit itself doesn't even have an article. Maxamegalon2000 22:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails the core policy of verifiability, Josh's word just doesn't cut it. Even if it did notability criteria still wouldn't be met. RMHED (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't find anything in a search engine regarding the wrestler and thus doubt the notability of him. Lazulilasher (talk) 22:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability or verifiability whatsoever. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, i guess the decisions pretty much made so all i gotta say is that i made the article in the first place BECAUSE there was no other site documenting my HTWA run. If there was an official web site or something like that then i wouldnt have had to put up the Wiki page. im not technologically savvy enough to run my own site which is why i did this. that page IS, or at least was going to be, the "reliable source" for anyone else who wanted to learn more. I thought that was the whole point of wikipedia. and by the way, the HTWA page was the next thing i was going to do, but i suppose that would have been shot down too.
 * While we appreciate your efforts to expand the encyclopedia, you have to understand that wikipedia is never the first place information should be published. The premise behind wikipedia is to collect information that has already been published in reliable, third-party sources.  See WP:Reliable sources and WP:No original research to better understand how this works. gnfnrf (talk) 14:54, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Josh, your accomplishments can be put up on your USER PAGE. Warrior4321 23:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
