Montez Ford

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No notable wrestler. He is just a develoment talent in WWE's farm territory. Just had a few matches. Too soon for this article. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:25, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The I.P.'s comments don't particularly cite policy; mind you, neither do User:HHH Pedrigree's. User:Galatz's comments do address WP:GNG, but deal only with the sources currently in the article—they do not appear to consider the possibility that other sources may exist (or they may not). I think there's room for further discussion to accomplish something here.
 * Keep He's a member of WWE's televised roster who has been prominently featured for over a year with numerous TV victories. Clearly notable. 86.3.174.49 (talk) 21:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * He barely has any notable matches. He doesn't have any notable feud or storyline. Just random matches. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:38, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You could say that about almost every single wrestler in WWE at present. Dawkins and Ford are part of the TV roster, the fact that they don't currently have a 'notable storyline' is completely irrelevant. They have been featured and pushed on TV for a year and won dozens of matches. 86.3.174.49 (talk) 16:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Looking through the sources (currently there are 8). 4 of them are wwe.com which I consider WP:PRIMARY for this and cannot be used to establish notability. 1 is just a photo of the new NXT class, and 1 is cagematch which is a RS but not for establishing notability. The Wrestling Observer report is just a basic injury report, nothing to establish notability. That leaves just the Miami Herald article, which to me is not enough to establish notability. -  Galatz Talk  17:12, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Steve Smith (talk) 05:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete My search didn't turn up significant independent coverage. What I found were listings of results, fight announcements, injury reports, etc.  WP has traditionally viewed pro wrestlers as entertainers and I see nothing to show he meets that SNG.  Competing for a developmental promotion also doesn't support a claim of notability nor do the article's references. Papaursa (talk) 01:12, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per the others, it just feels WP:TOOSOON. He fails WP:ENT for the time being.LM2000 (talk) 04:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
