Non notable wrestling promotion. It lacks the significant independent coverage required by WP:GNG and there's no indication of notability. Even if the promotion had some notable wrestlers, the organization's notability is not inherited from the wrestlers. Jakejr (talk) 03:06, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Notability not supported by references.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:02, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the nominator. The article lacks significant independent sources to show the promotion is notable and the organization's notability can not be inherited just because wrestlers who later became notable once competed there. Papaursa (talk) 21:40, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Neutral The additional sources found by Nikki311 refer to a New Jersey legislative issue about extreme wrestling. The topic could be considered WP:NOTNEWS and, either way, it appears you could argue that this organization is mentioned more in passing.  However, there's enough to make me think about things so I've changed my vote. Papaursa (talk) 19:36, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, significant independent coverage on Nightline, in The New York Times and in The Wall Street Journal. Nikki  ♥  311   02:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Given Nikki's findings, I believe it meets minimum GNG requirements.LM2000 (talk) 09:19, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep As above. J 1982 (talk) 16:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep One of the most important independent promotions in the United States, and the host of New Japan Pro Wrestling's first American tour. Sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establist notability. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:47, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
