No indication that Korpela meets our standards of notability. The article was deleted back in 2008 for the same reason, but no significant coverage has since been provided. Google News finds a few pieces by Korpela, but nothing that covers him in any detail. This old revision offers some additional sources, but still nothing significant.

 * Weak delete, the deletion rationale isn't quite accurate, because there is a 2013 news article in the Tucson Weekly which is, at least, about Korpela. But, erm, that's it! I can't see any other news coverage significantly about him online. His roles, though numerous, seem to be fairly minor in the grand scale of things. Still fails WP:GNG.

- Do not delete Meets Notability Guidelines. It was decided before that the profile should not deleted because this individual was a part of very famous wrestling events and shows for many years. Since then he has become even more notable. This page needs to be updated to reflect his current TV job http://www.wgal.com/tv/news-team/34422916 And his current TV work - http://www.wgal.com/news/lancaster-powerlifter-world-record-holder-after-fighting-for-his-life/36001794 http://www.wgal.com/news/shooting-kills-1-in-york/34991632 http://www.wgal.com/news/suspects-wanted-in-york-county-police-officer-dragging/36308988 http://www.wgal.com/news/teenage-boy-faces-attempted-homicide-charge-after-stabbing-girl-police-say/35068640 http://www.wgal.com/news/couples-coasttocoast-journey-could-be-recordsetting/35540314 He was a commentator on these worldwide WWE shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuklvMzKkVo

Others who held Korpel's role for shorter periods of time are featured on Wikipedia with no issues. Like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Romero

A detractor appears to be stalking this page with an agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragbike (talk • contribs) 18:07, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - when the only defenses to avoid deletion are strings of YouTube links and personal attacks, then we are in trouble. Bearian (talk) 20:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete -That "string of Youtube links" serves as evidence that this individual was a big part of world famous programming seen in over 167 countries. He is also one of the very few featured on the WWE website, one of the world's largest entertainment companies. I did not see a personal attack, only stating what I know to be true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragbike (talk • contribs) 22:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete Where is the argument to overturn the decision Wikipedia made to keep the page a few years ago? The precedent was established by the experts. Since then Korpela has become more notable. His Twitter account is over 15K followers. He is still on TV. I'm not sure I see the logic here. We do know that at least one individual has threatened to make a movement to take the page down if he was not paid by Korpela. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:985:100:D11:80B6:6671:E40A:3C20 (talk) 19:20, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - despite the template at the article's talk page there was no decision to keep the page a few years ago. You can read the past discussions via the links above. The article was deleted - and where are the arguments to overturn that precedent established by the experts? Regarding the claims that people have threatened Korpela to "make a movement" if they're not paid, I'd like to see some evidence. Huon (talk) 21:01, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
