History of Extreme Championship Wrestling

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

The history of Extreme Championship Wrestling should be covered in a short paragraph in Extreme Championship Wrestling, not in a separate article which is not far short of the word count in History of television. Wrestlecruft, of no relevance outside the dedicated fanbase and documented solely by and for them. Guy (Help!) 18:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete agreed, this takes Wrestlecruft to the next level. The Rambling Man 19:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per JzG. Content already well summarized at Extreme Championship Wrestling. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 02:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Yes admittedly, the article is a mess now of WP:OR and does not cite sources for much that is written, BUT lots of good articles start out that way. ECW is a major and notable wrestling brand that a lot of famous pro-wrestling stars started from (hence the notability/importance of its history). To label it as "wrestlecruft" and mark it for deletion is a classic example of WP:IDONTLIKEIT reasoning. Putting cleanup or other relevant tags on the article, or raising questions in the talk page, or even being bold and attempting to directly solve the article's alleged faults, is the way to solve content problems. The AfD process should be reserved for cases where the existence of the article itself is questionable under Wikipedia policy (I took that comment from here). --Eqdoktor 09:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * weak delete, doesn't cite any sources, but if sourced and free of OR, there would be nothing wrong with keeping it. Guy, I find these interesting and I don't consider myself a wrestling fan. Narrow interest is not a reason to delete; we're not paper and we don't have to limit ourselves to popular things.  Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 09:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
