List of professional wrestling finishing maneuvers

Nomination Suriel1981 02:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Listcruft List more suited to a Wrestling fansite. The individual wrestler articles overwhelmingly have details of the subject's signature moves making collective lists redundant. Checking country by country gave a total of 714 articles (which doesn't take into account uncategorised biographies) and given that often wrestlers have more than one "finishing move" and that new wrestler articles are created all the time, this list is shown to be clearly unmaintainable. </If the list was now 100% complete there would be in excess of 1000 lines - far too collossal. There is also the issue of complete lack of references/citations or even appropriate internal links.


 * Delete - per the fact that this is the only unnecessary wrestling moves article. There is no need for a repository of finishing moves, as the wrestler's individual articles store the names and descriptions. I also support deletion due to the fact that this article is completely unverified. --  The  Hyb  rid  02:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The nominator exhausted all the points. I have nothing to add. YechielMan 02:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - another problem is that the listing of the moves is completely different from how they are listed in the normal articles and use phrases that appear to have been made up on the spot. –– Lid(Talk) 02:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom ZBrannigan 03:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, there's no way this could be realistically maintained. MarcK 08:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete redundant list, also impossible to maintain MPJ-DK 10:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The nominator should be slammed slapped with a wet fish for mentioning the word listcruft, but the rest of his nomination is as sound as it can be. - Mgm|(talk) 11:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The potential for abuse and misinformation outweighs the utility of the page. McPhail 12:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete' (super-spin hit delete button sitting in chair) For all the reasons above, it's hard to add any more to the reasons, except to say that the "descriptions" added to each entry in the list are also positively bamboozling for someone not interested in the "sport" (like me).

 * delete per MarcK's comments. Quatreryukami 15:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep it it is very useful and there is no point in taking it down and it took a lot of work to make. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.50.245.113 (talk) 23:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Comment - it is completely useless. The actual articles serve the purpose of this list. It is just taking up space, and hasn't been shown to be reliable. --  The  Hyb  rid  00:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I think the nomination demonstrated the reasons for taking it down. I do understand the article must have taken a lot of work and I certainly sympathise but WP policies really should be checked on before putting a lot of time/energy into a creation. Suriel1981 13:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I realize the point of the nominator, as this is an endless list, but I feel the opening paragraph is a perfect definition of what a finishing maneuver is. I tried to search for a page that had only the definition, of which none currently exist. All pages with similar titles redirect to this page. I would like to nominate the first paragraph as an official definition, or even a stub, for a page entitled "Finishing Maneuvers".  —YeLLeY511 21:59, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see the terms finishing- or signature moves needing a separate page, but Professional wrestling does need a section/paragraph describing them. ↪Lakes (Talk) 21:03, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
