Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Novak (wrestler)

The result was Delete. Neither of the two reasons given for keeping relate to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. They are (1) the bare statement "notability has been established" without explanation or evidence; see Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, and (2) "Just because he hasn't been notable since 2011 doesn't mean he never existed"; see Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. The arguments for "delete" are not the strongest I have ever seen, but they are based on issues related to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, namely notability and promotion. (Note: Several of the images are certainly copyright infringements, and it is probably true that all of them are, as LM2000 says, but that is not a reason to delete the article: it is just a reason to remove the images from the article.)

No real Notability since 2011, can find no further info about him online since 2011. I can find no way to improve this article.It has also already been tagged per WP:BIO due to notability issues already.Chris &#34;WarMachineWildThing&#34; (talk) 06:36, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Article currently reads like an advert and needs work, but notability has been established albeit there is little to nothing since 2011. Aust331 (talk) 09:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Just because he hasn't been notable since 2011 doesn't mean he never existed, if that was the case then we could delete Sim Snuka's article as well — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:5644:600:8D68:233B:4F1E:7234 (talk) 05:38, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Comparing Novak to Snuka is like comparing apples to oranges. Sim has Notability due to being a Second gen wrestler alone,plus he actually made it to the main roster. No comparison. ALOT of guys existed but ALOT of them do not qualify for WP:BIO notability, that is what matters not if he existed or not Chris &#34;WarMachineWildThing&#34; (talk) 06:17, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Then what about Lucky Cannon and Percy Watson, they never made it to the main roster and haven't been notable since their release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:5644:600:F478:BDEB:F930:5BE6 (talk) 20:23, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Article has been deleted before under a different name, see Articles for deletion/Jacob Novak. He hasn't done anything since the previous AfD which would change WP:GNG concerns.  The article reads like an advert and all of the pics are copy-vios.LM2000 (talk) 06:22, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - the epitome of someone with no success on WWE television, eliminated first in both season 4 and season 5. Didn't make it to WWE main roster (raw/smackdown). Also echoing LM2000's concerns starship.paint ~  KO   06:54, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Prefall  08:21, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
