 * Comment - only wrestled 1 recorded match per Wrestlingdata. I searched reliable sources and found 15 results. Removing the "thanks to Greg Lambert" - who sent in results of his own shows - takes away 7 results, leaving 8 results. Of these, 5 of them are republishing of press releases by wrestling promotions. Only 3 are "real" coverage from the reliable secondary sources: One, Two and Three. To summarise these three sources: 1) He talked on a podcast. 2) He wrote a book and was booker for the FWA for 2 years. 3) He appeared at a wrestling event, starship  .paint   ~ regal  02:37, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per my proof above, he has only three instances of "real" coverage (instead of parroting of press releases) by secondary sources. None of these were very detailed or focused on him. So, he fails WP:GNG. starship  .paint   ~ regal  02:57, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:GNG - Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. - Taketa (talk) 06:08, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

All information contained in this Wikipedia entry is true. Many secondary sources of the matches referred to on the internet do not refer to Greg Lambert because role as manager/ring announcer/commentator is often less high profile that of the wrestlers who appeared on the shows. There is a video of of Greg Lambert performing at an FWA event in 2004 on the internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drs4mzlmADk and appearing at FWA in 2010 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnJEeY7K120 and also appears in an FWA music video in 2004 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O79ftoKTVlQ. There are numerous positive reviews of the Holy Grail book which can be found on line including here http://www.lep.co.uk/what-s-on/holy-grail-the-true-story-of-british-wrestling-s-revival-1-5629053 and here http://www.pwmania.com/sheds-review-holy-grail-true-story-british-wrestlings-revival. The PCW website has a profile of Greg Lambert here http://www.prestoncitywrestling.com/wrestlers/greg-lambert. An interview with Wrestling Eye podcast includes Greg Lambert talking about his writing career with Power Slam here http://wrestlingeye.libsyn.com/ Further sources can be produced if required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregthetruthlambert (talk • contribs) 12:33, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, of all the sources you mentioned, only LEP passes the test for a reliable secondary source. Secondary means that they are not affliated with you so prestoncitywrestling or FWA does not count. Please provide more sources like the LEP (media publications) since it's obvious to me from my own search that the wrestling sites have not covered you in much detail at all. Even if your article were to survive, it needs a massive trim due to a lack of WP:Verifiability. starship  .paint   ~ regal  07:13, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
