List of professional wrestlers billed as &

List of half a dozen wrestlers who happened to be billed in a similar way by promoters. No indication of any particular significance to this. ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:34, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and is a great example of WP:LISTCRUFT.  STATic  message me!  22:39, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I added a reliable source for each entry to demonstrate notability. I think the Mooneyham article is a great place to look for an assertion of notability. The article was published two weeks ago and begins by discussing two of the uses from this list. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:18, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG and as per StaticVerseatide, it is a pure List fan-cruft, it also does not meet WP:LISTS. Eduemoni<sup style='color:green'>↑talk↓ </b> 22:21, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The whole "World's Strongest Man" thing doesn't seem to be a particularly notable gimmick; the fact that these wrestlers have been attributed this title seems to have less to do with wrestling and more to do with the fact that they were all once "strongmen". Perhaps creating Category:Professional wrestlers who are strongmen or sometime to that effect would be a better substitute. However, Static is right when he says that such a list is total cruft. —  Richard  BB  13:06, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
