Similar case to Novak. In his 4 years as WWE Develoment wrestler, he does nothing. Only appear a few months in NXT and when he was fired, he retired. No notable HHH Pedrigree (talk) 00:05, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 Strong Delete - The article is so un-notable and uninteresting that no one has even participated in the AFD yet. That shows how much value this has to the encyclopedia. Feed back  ☎ 04:03, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notability established through discussion in reliable sources. Duration of (one reason for) fame or lack of interest have nothing to do with WP:N. GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete While the page is well sourced, those sources simply establish his existence. They do not establish notoriety because in the case of Mr. Cottonwood, there is no notoriety.  The pinnacle of his career was losing a professional wrestling contest which was broadcast exclusively online.  He never appeared on television, never held titles (even in FCW) and his career in basketball seems even less notable.LordMaldad2000 (talk) 22:17, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't know much about basketball. If he's done enough to be recognized as a notable basketball player, disregard this. But per the word of the Lord, merely existing isn't good enough for wrestling. Any notability is inherited from being associated with NXT, not on his own merits. Think of him like the minor cast of Big Brother or The Ultimate Fighter. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not sure there are enough reliable sources off which to base an article. Also, clear lack of notability. Icarus of old (talk) 04:34, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
