List of NWA Central States alumni

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Indiscriminate. At the very least, it should be notable alumni.  DGG ( talk ) 21:33, 17 June 2016 (UTC)  DGG ( talk ) 21:33, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep and suspend AfD priveleges for nominator. Seriously, an IP puts together a 177K article with 201 references. It sits at AfC for a month, is approved, and then another AfC editor nominates it for deletion...not because it doesn't meet GNG (since it obviously does), but because it has too much information. This isn't what WP:NOT is about. Way to chase away an obviously hard-working IP. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * AfC is only intended to screen out those articles that are not likely to pass AfD. Technically, 51% probability is enough, but most reviewers includign myself want on about 70 or 80%. This  means that at least 20% of those passing AfC will probably end up being deleted.  DGG ( talk ) 03:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:33, 25 June 2016 (UTC) Removing them from the list because people haven't written the articles yet doesn't make any sense. Rather than pounce on a newly created article, we should use it as a guide to show the need for more articles. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, agree with nom that if this article is kept it should only include notable alumni, in line with other alumni lists. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment It's hard not to appreciate the amount of work that went into the list but really if kept it should be trimmed down to notable (i.e.. those with articles).Peter Rehse (talk) 10:13, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Not having an article isn't an indication of lack of notability. It's an indication that, in many cases, the articles just haven't been written yet. I picked a couple of wrestlers at random without articles. Both Frenchy Lamonte and Roger Kirby have enough reliable sources to establish notability and create articles. Kirby alone won:
 * NWA US Tag Team (Gulf Coast and Mid-America) - 2 times
 * NWA Gulf Coast Tag Team - 3 times
 * NWA Central States Heavyweight - 8 times
 * Pacific Northwest Heavyweight - 2 times
 * NWA World Junior Heavyweight - 1 time
 * NWA North American Tag Team (Central States) - 3 times
 * NWA Central States Heavyweight - 1 time
 * NWA World Tag Team (Central States) - 2 times
 * NWA Central States tag team - 5 times
 * NWA Central States Television - 3 times
 * NWA Georgia Tag Team - 1 time
 * NWA Florida Tag Team - 3 times
 * NWA Mid America Heavyweight - 2 times
 * WWA World Tag Team - 3 times
 * WWC North American Heavyweight - 1 time
 * WWC North American Tag Team - 1 time
 * AWA Southern Tag Team - 1 time
 * NWA Western States Heavyweight - 2 times
 * nominator and myself have not said to delete those that do not have articles, only non-notable ones, i always check on the possible notability of unarticled(?) people who are added to articles that i watch., and would do the same with this one. Coolabahapple (talk) 17:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Would add that if not an article then at least a reference. There is no source for the entire list - so this becomes original research.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:30, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Lots of good sources, though plenty remain unsourced. Article does need some work and criteria, such as listing just notable alumni as nominator suggests, can be hammered out on the talk page.LM2000 (talk) 08:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and copy edit. For example, users can research various subjects to discern whether or not they meet notability requirements for an article, and then add red links. Conversely, entries found to be non-notable can be removed. North America1000 09:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
