Mark Beale

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

Article does not assert notability. The references for this article do not qualify as WP:RS as most are simply derived from press releases or interviews with the subject. This article fails WP:RS and WP:N.
 * The first ref is an interview which would qualify as a primary source.
 * The second ref mentions the subject in passing (Mark Beale, general manager of the Port Elizabeth-based WWP (World Wrestling Professional) and “As a PE-based company we want to show the people of SA that local is lekker,” said Beale).
 * The third ref only says "Mark Beale for Alkebulan" about the subject.
 * The fourth ref only gives a quote (“The newly-crowned champion requested the sixth edition to channel reconciliation and peace world-wide and Niger Delta in particular. It is therefore worthy of note that the championship must be held within the speculated six months, as stated in WWP title policy,” Mark Beale, CEO WWP stated).
 * The fifth ref is subscription only (You have selected an article from the AllAfrica archive, which requires a subscription).
 * The sixth mentions him once (The Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the world body, Mark Beale) and is mainly a bunch of kayfabe quotes.
 * The final ref again only mentions him once (Chief Executive Office of the WWP based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Mark Beale,).

There are no credible reliable sources from third parties which can establish the notability of this subject. Darrenhusted (talk) 13:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to World Wrestling Professionals. The background of the show co-creator is interesting detail there, but the notability for a separate entry doesn't seem to be there. 9Nak (talk) 18:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. At least some of those references are sufficient and notable enough to warrant the existence of this article. Ajstyles tna roh (talk) 07:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Aj, if you think the sources are sufficient then I suggest you address the concerns above, 1 reference is half-way RS, the other five are not. Darrenhusted (talk) 08:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

 * Merge per above.Yobmod (talk) 10:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, the content is good but not enough to support its own article.--Finalnight (talk) 17:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
