Music in professional wrestling
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No notable. The article has the tag OR since 2008. No in deep coverage of the subject by reliable sources. Few sources just talk about a musician created music, but not enough for the article. Survived a AfD in 2007, but it was just a list of theme musics HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:14, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2023 November 26.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 09:33, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: I simply do not know how to evaluate this as professional wrestling as a whole is something big. To say there's nothing in RS is obviously not true as there's this and that, and probably way more since professional wrestling is somewhat considered one of the top sports entertainment.  dxneo  (talk) 11:40, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Music in wrestling as a whole is notable, and this article serves as a good starting point. Potential original research aside, it is not enough to merit at WP:TNT. Here are some sources directly dealing with the more theatrical professional wrestling:
 * Pruitt, Cenate (2019). "Get In The Ring: Professional Wrestling and Heavy Metal Music in Parallel." The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology
 * Davis, L. R. (2012). "Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting." Bowling Green State University.
 * Wells, Christi Jay (2023). "'Gimme a Hell Yeah!’ Stone Cold Steve Austin and the WWF’s Soundscapes of Rage." Journal of Popular Music Studies. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/jpms.2023.35.1.109
 * Bessman, J. (1999). "Wrestling Mania Grips Koch, Tommy Boy." Billboard
 * However, I would also recommend moving the article to simply "Music in wrestling" to incorporate sources such as this:
 * Brody, Bina N. (2023). "Competing Bodies and Subversive Songs: Negotiating a Changing Tradition in Senegal’s National Wrestling Music." University of Pennsylvania.
 * Why? I Ask (talk) 11:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The move can be discussed after consensus has been reached, probably at WP:RM.  dxneo  (talk) 12:30, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
