The result was   delete. I'm sorry but the keep arguments here just don't cut it. Per longstanding consensus, blogs are not reliable sources for establishing notability. Also, one keep !voter made a mention of "numerous sources" but failed to show us any. Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Nonnotable former wrestler/web wrestling commentator. All but one reference are to the subject's own website. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:23, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Comment Subject is notable for being the only pro wrestler to hail from Omagh, N.Ireland. Also your reasons for deletion are incorrect, as there is more than one reference to a website other than the subjects site. And the "web commentator" reference is also incorrect as the subjects show aired on several radio stations. DannoMcMahono (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC).
 * There are two references to the subject's own website and one to a blog. None of these are reliable sources. LeSnail (talk) 21:37, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Comment. It seems like there's not enough context given in the article. I don't get it, he comes from Ireland, he hosts a radio show in Florida, yet he lives in Ontario, Canada? What's the actual story here? What is he primarily known for, wrestling or radio? What's the evidence? Why is he living in Ontario if he hosts a show in Florida? — JmaJeremy TALK CONTRIBS   21:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Delete I cannot find any reliable sources to establish notability. LeSnail (talk) 22:21, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Keep I dispute the fact that a Percy Pringle's Blog is not a reliable source. Being that he was employed by WWE from 1990–2002 and references the subject's radio show and website as "respected". Please indicate what additional proof you require otherwise this looks like an instance of WP:IDONTLIKEIT — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.49.6 (talk) 23:33, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment The above IP keep vote is from a likely sockpuppet of User:DannoMcMahono who has previously voted in this discussion. LeSnail (talk) 00:20, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Do you have a reliable source for this accusation LeSnail? Or is this just your personal speculation? Regardless, this does not address the question posed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.49.6 (talk) 04:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Delete Absolutely no refs outside of Kokosports. Can't find anything reliable to tie him to even being a wrestler. My favourite, there is only one mention of "Garry B.Ware" on the web and that is on an archive of a geocities site. Needs more than just refs to his radio show.

Keep I found numerous references with just a preliminary search. Craicen —Preceding undated comment added 18:35, 14 March 2012 (UTC).
