 * Delete for the same reason I posted last time at the last discussion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:30, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Stewart and Williams are both successful and young running backs with promising careers. However, their nickname has only been around for three years. Other well-known NFL nicknames, such as Purple People Eaters, Steel Curtain,  and The Greatest Show on Turf are not just part of their respective team's culture, but have been part of  NFL Lore for decades now (save for the last). I'm not saying this nickname is not  notable whatsoever, but it's too young of a subject to deserve its own article. --   StarScream1007  ►Talk
 * Keep- Mainly because of the nickname controversy. This was a very large headline in and of itself back in '08, almost a scandal of sorts, and that alone makes it notable enough to stay.  Toa   Nidhiki  05  01:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * comment: The nickname controversy was over the use of "Smash and Dash." None of the current references in the controversy section mention 'double trouble' itself as part of the controversy. --   StarScream1007  ►Talk  02:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: This is definitely part of Carolina Panthers lore. These two running backs are great young players, and if they get better, then the nickname will get more and more popular. We should keep this article unless, they fall off the map within three years. Soxrock24 (talk) 16:56, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment "might be notable later on" is not a reason to keep but is actually a reason to delete.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, that could be a reason to merge with Carolina Panthers. I think that it actually should be kept but it looks like we have a deadlock. Keep firing away. Soxrock24 (talk) 01:22, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Another Thing Since the team is so young, it definitely is Panthers lore. This was a huge controversy back in '08. Probably one of the topt ten storylines in their young history, if not higher. That's a definite plus for keeping. Soxrock24 (talk) 01:25, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment:The controversy comments belongs in the Smash and Dash (if it existed), or Stewart and Williams' articles. All the controversy was about the usage of that nickname, not the 'Double Trouble' nickname itself. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  04:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Page does not discuss the topic, but rather details the stats of some athletes who presumably have their own articles. No secondary sources are provided, and "lore" arguments are not based in Wikipedia guidelines or policies. Abductive  (reasoning) 15:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
