La Familia (professional wrestling)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

If this article supports a notable team, then every stable that was ever created in WWE's long history should have a Wikipedia article. Should be deleted as non-notable. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 15:27, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

It's a pretty detailed article. It goes into further detail about the group than any of the members' pages. I'd say it's worthy of staying up. Doesn't hurt. 69.23.158.178 (talk) 17:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * But the problem is that the article supports a non-notable stable. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 17:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Give me a reason it's not notable. Give me a comparable stable that isn't notable. Until I hear better reasoning, I'm not voting either way. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 18:06, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * They are not notable because they never did anything notable together. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 18:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, what the hell? They've done plenty of notable things together and the stable has been the focus of SD for six months now. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess I see it from a different prospective. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 01:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps if you explain, the rest of us can understand your reasoning. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I simply think that compared to other stables, they have not done very many things that can be considered notable. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 01:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * In some examples of articles I don't find very notable: The Heart Throbs (with WWE for what..a year? They didn't do anything very notable while in the company. No titles won, and some midcard feuds. After WWE: they did even less. Perhaps they should go to AFD?). What about: Los Boricuas? They were around for over a year in the company, no titles held and they were just midcarders at best. I could find more tag team and stables right now (if I had the time, and wanted to) that I consider "never did anything notable together". If I put those in AFDs, I can bet they would be kept, mainly due to the logic of "longtime WWF/WWE teams and stables are notable even if they did nothing notable while in the company" which is flawed at times. Now look at La Familia: titles held, main events, a key part of Smackdown storylines (Vickie is the General Manager, and many of her actions for a while were due to Edge's help), and so on.

 * Keep. Notable stable that have been around for a while. The article has good detail that explains their notability, as well as decent sources. RobJ1981 (talk) 18:50, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
