List of WWE pay-per-view events
Delete - Main point of this article seems to be to promote WWE pay per view events. Per What Wikipedia is not, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 seem to apply. Although advertising space is not explicitly noted, I think the intent is under not a host or page provider. Some of the content may be appropriate within another page.

 * Super-Weak Keep - Provides historical context, which explains why pay-per-view events are relevant. I think it needs to be reworked into an article about pay-per-view events for WWE, because it really isn't what the title describes, but I think that it's of encyclopedic value. I didn't get an advertising vibe from the page. Just b/c it's for sale doesn't mean that it's an advertisement. The Disco King 04:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Super-Weak Keep and move to WWE pay-per-view events --Mmx1 04:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep WWE is a notable company, and its PPV schedule is something to note. Plus, it already has a brief discription of the history in there. Maybe expand more on the article, and move it to WWE pay-per-view events, because it should be more than a list. I've just read it in full, and I didn't see any blatant advertising in it. tv316 05:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Move it to WWE --DragonWR12LB 06:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The idea that it exists to promote WWE is absurd at face value because that would also imply every wrestler who works for WWE would have to have their profiles deleted too as that "promotes their business." All of the TV programming is used to build up to these specific big PPV events and a list of what the events are is historical fact, not WWE PR. BronzeWarrior 09:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep this notable company produces so many PPV's that they'd swamp a more general article. MLA 10:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, a notable company PPV events is something important. --Ter e nce Ong 11:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Will no doubt be very useful to broadband users with bad taste in entertainment, who will use it as a file-sharing checklist. Monicasdude 14:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Why do you need to bash wrestling fans? Eenu 23:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * comment: I understand the interest to keep past signifcant events (assuming there were any), but do we really want Wiki to become the place to list upcoming events?  Every pro sports team, under this reasoning, can publish their schedule for the season ahead.  Every TV show, their upcoming shows and times.  Every film, its release date and theaters where it will be playing.--Pro-Lick 15:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not an entertainment guide. Brian G. Crawford, the so-called &quot;Nancy Grace of AfD&quot; 17:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If Wikipedia wasn't entertaining, I wouldn't bother to come here or use it. Even the featured articles that change on the homepage each day are highly enjoyable to read. BronzeWarrior 02:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Rename per Mmx1. Eivindt@c 20:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or merge into WWE -- T B C [[Image:Confused-tpvgames.gif|18px|]] ???  ???   ??? 20:37, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep/Move Helpful resource, move to WWE pay-per-view events and expand. Eenu 23:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and move per Eenu and others. Harr o 5 23:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 01:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. -- Cr  na  t e c   Go  ra  02:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and move' to WWE pay-per-view events. Rehardless of the intent, the information is still encyclopedic.  Jtmichcock 03:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and move per above. I see no difference between chronicling the PPV events and the numerous TV series episode guides on Wikipedia. 23skidoo 03:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Wikipedia is not TV guide.Tombride 05:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Then you ought to propose deletion for South Park, Family Guy and Dawson's Creek while you're at it. You're only attacking it because it's pro wrestling. BronzeWarrior 20:53, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Merge Merge it with WWE, i have read the article fully, i dont see any advertising in it. Snroy 06:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per BronzeWarrior. --Oakster 06:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep no merge per Terence Ong. -- JJay 18:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The chronological order in which these pay-per-view events have been broadcast is extremely useful information; there are those who have spent time overseas and may not have had access to WWE pay-per-view events. This chronology allows those viewers to follow the emerging story-lines in sports entertainment. There is absolutely no advertising content in it, and the chronology cannot be found anywhere else on the Internet.
 * STRONG KEEP As the creator of the article. Merging would only make the WWE article extremly long. I broke it away from the article just for that reason. It's encyclopedic information that should not be deleted and there is no advertising presented in it.  M o e   ε  15:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My article was actually merged into this one, I thought it looked similar. :-) M o e   ε  15:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep- per BronzeWarrior. Trosk 00:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Just get rid of the upcoming PPVs section, apart from that I don't see any advertising. Normy 08:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
