List of ECW events

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

Wikipedia isn't a directory, and certainly isn't a catalog to list every event. Relevant ECW events are already listed on List of ECW pay-per-view events. RobJ1981 (talk) 19:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete; I don't like the line This is a chronological list of live events 'promoted' by the wrestling promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling. Was this some sort of promotional attempt? It also looks like a copyright violation of the only site mentioned in the list's external links section. Fails WP:C and possibly WP:SPAM. GO-PCHS-NJROTC  (Messages) 19:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: I'm ok with this article from a WP:SPAM perspective, as I believe 'promoted' in this context is referring to the job/function of a promoter, i.e. responsibility for "putting on the show". However, the material in this article is a direct rip-off of the sole reference (and it's subpages), which have a clear copyright notice.  The article should probably be Speedy Deleted as G12.

 * Delete - it should link to the events to be kept, but then it would be redundant with the list the nom mentioned.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:55, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - okay, it's a list, not an article. And it's a direct rip-off of the source, but HEY that's kind of what a list is, isn't it?  Whenever we make a "list of what's happening in the world" we run the risk of copying someone else's exact list.  BUT--this particular list is of no value to Wikipedia... there's no navigation to the events on the list nor is there any references to other pages in Wikipedia.  Hence, it doesn't belong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmcdonald (talk • contribs)

 * Delete It doesn't look like a copyvio because the source doesn't contain any dates, and any list of ECW events will look similar, but it isn't needed. Darrenhusted (talk) 08:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete-per the nomination, most of the important ones are listed at List of ECW pay-per-view events-- S R X -- Latino Heat  15:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I just see no use for the article. -- iMa tth ew  T.C. 15:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
