Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Let the Gates of Hell Open: The Best of The Rottweilers


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was delete all, discounting the odd WP:ILIKEIT argument and taking into account the analogous Articles for deletion/Death Before Dishonor (ROH). The serious WP:NOT and WP:N problems – no third-party coverage of these DVDs! – have remained substantially unaddressed by those wanting to keep the articles, and would apply to a merged article also.

Let the Gates of Hell Open: The Best of The Rottweilers

 * — (View AfD)

Compliation DVD consisting of various matches released by independent wrestling company. Doesn't seem notable or encyclopedic, only real purpose seems to be advertising One Night In Hackney 09:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons:

 * Delete all - not worth having an article on each separate dvd. Maybe it's worth merging them all together to one article, but they might not even be notable enough for that. Jayden54 14:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all they arent even notable enough for merging. Resolute 14:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all or listify/merge if anyone has the time and effort to bother. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Why should every wrestling DVD released have an article? It's not as if we have an article for every issue of the Donald Duck comic ever printed, or anything. J I P  | Talk 17:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 'Delete all WP is WP:NOT a DVD listing SirFozzie 23:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge into one article Ring of Honor is one of the largest independent promotions in the company. The wrestlers featured in the DVDs have gone on to WWE and TNA.  Milchama 18:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It should be noted that a similar debate regarding Ring of Honor shows (which are more notable than these, but still not notable) recently finished. One Night In Hackney 19:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge into one article Without a doubt, these should be kept. Other DVDs have their own pages, as well as other wrestling promotions' DVDs (WWE and TNA, most notebly). They are the 3rd largest promotion is North America. I would rather these all be in one article, as not to annoy people. Noah's Arc 00:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Wiki is a encyclopedia, not a book of popularity contest. It doesn't matter how many people want it or not, it is still informative.
 * Delete all - Content such as this is better suited to a special-interest wiki.

 * Comment A Wikiproject doesn't give you carte blanche to introduce fancruft as you see fit. It should also be noted that you added them to the project after the pages were created One Night In Hackney 02:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment So if a page is created about (let's say) a person, then it shouldn't be later added to the Wikiproject on biographies?PepsiPlunge 08:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment No, that's not what I said. None of the DVDs under discussion were at any time proposed for an article by any members of the project that I can see.  The articles were created by an editor who is not a member of the project, and who has had no contact with the project. One Night In Hackney 08:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge into a single article. Note: these articles have an intro paragraph, and a contents listing. I'd be happy to merge all the intro paragraphs together into one article, preferably the article of the company that makes this stuff, but I don't think we need to keep fight-by-fight contents lists, even in a merged version.

 * Comment There was a page that these could have been merged into, but it seems to have been deleted. I'm not sure why it was deleted as it wasn't included as part of the Afd discussion mentioned. One Night In Hackney 09:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
