An unneccesary restatement of information from List of professional wrestling match types, as well as POV information. Calgary 00:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, if not redirect. The article does go more in-depth than the list, and could be useful. If consensus is reached to delete, I suggest a redirect to the section of the list. GrooveDog (talk) 02:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The match type is unique and notable enough to warrant its own article, although it should be expanded (IIRC, it did used to be a lot more detailed and I don't know what happened to all that info). TJ Spyke 05:23, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but what information does (or did) the article include that isn't included in List of professional wrestling match types? The details of the rules of the match are just a restatement of the summary, and the reception section is entirely uncited, and a very probable NPOV violation. After you take that out, all you're left with is a list of Iron Man matches that have occured in the past (assuming you replace the ridiculous "Judgement Day 2000" section, and that's just supplementary content, which is hardly grounds for it's own article. The topic itself may be notable, but unless there's actual information (say, for example, a well-cited history of the match, or equally well cited details about the effect of the match on professional wrestling), you don't really have an article Calgary 13:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete This page consists of the information from List of professional wrestling match types, a "Rules" section which restates this information, a "Reception" section which contains only POV info and a section that belongs in a different article. I agree to a redirect. DraxusD 08:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to List of professional wrestling match types. The information on this page can easily be accommodated in the Iron Man section there - it doesn't need its own article. Terraxos 21:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There was a ton more relavent information on this page before someone editted it. The page showed past Iron Man matches (since they are a special event and aren't constantly used) and had detailed results, scores, locations, and event names.  Definitely keep it.

 * Comment The page was more detailed, but that detail was just a list. Since the modern era there have been a total of four Iron Man matches with the 60 minute limit and for the WWE title, and that is not enough to make a list, all the other TNA and WCW stuff could be described elsewhere, like on wrestlers pages.
