List of Deceased Wrestlers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't see how this article has any relevancy. Perhaps it could be made into a category but I doubt that as well. This article's existence doesn't seem to serve any purpose in my opinion and the relevant information could simply exist within the pages of each individual mentioned.

 * Delete Hopelessly impossible to complete, indiscriminate. What's next? List of dead people? Resolute 04:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Absolute waste of space. While there have been too many wrestlers who died young, this page misses the point. WWGB 08:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. For the love of GAWD, someone lock the damn page! Lugnuts 08:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete based on the fact that dead and being a wrestler are loosely associated topics and thus this is listcruft. MartinDK 09:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintainable listcruft. Pity there isn't a speedy for something like this. Blueboy96 13:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Bury this per nom. --Targeman 14:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Abstain Delete if you must, but I see no difference from this and other articles (e.g. List of people who have disappeared or List of racing drivers who died in racing crashes) It is a similar list that CNN has broadcast on Nancy Grace. The title should be contain under age 65, it was an oversight on my part. Dom316 14:18, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Everyone dies eventually. Not all racing drivers die in races. You could draw a comparison if this was "List of wrestlers who died in wrestling matches", but it isn't. Equally, not everyone 'disappears' &mdash; in fact, it's really quite unusual (and often even notable on a per-person basis) for someone to fall off the face of the Earth.

 * Delete &mdash; As per my comment above: everyone dies eventually. This is little more than a list of wrestlers. Had they died actually 'in the ring' (or whatever the jargon is), then it would serve a purpose. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 15:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note - since this AfD, the article in this nomination has been redirected to List of Wrestlers Died Under Age 65, which is a redirect of List of Wrestlers Who Died Under Age 65, which is also up for nomination. --tgheretford (talk) 20:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete absolute listcruft.--JForget 22:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
