Nick Mondo
An article on this topic was previously deleted at AfD. The content here cannot be speedied, as it is different, but the question of notability still needs to be asked. This nomination is only partially procedural (the matter of redirecting Sick Nick Mondo arose at DRV), so I'll go on the record as questioning the notability of "backyard wrestling" -- call this a weak delete.

 * Weak delete per nom. Has this sport ever been on the TV or mentioned in the mainstream media?  If so, that needs to be asserted (probably on the main Combat Zone Wrestling page rather than on an individual participant's article), which will probably bring the whole thing into the realms of notability.  If not, it should go. Tevildo 14:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Seems to me this is verifiable, and the amazon reviews indicate he's notable enough.  I would prefer way better secondary sourcing, however. snug 15:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per his role in a reasonably popular video games series (Backyard Wrestling) --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 16:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per notability, however is in need of an rewrite as well as the CZW page.--IU2002 03:54, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep; while the video game series is called "Backyard Wrestling" because it takes place in peoples' backyards in the context of the game, Combat Zone Wrestling is actually a real wrestling promotion that claims the former home of ECW, Viking Hall, as their home. It's also notable as their style of ultraviolent wrestling is relatively unique. RasputinAXP   c  03:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep; the notability of backyard wrestling is indeed questionable, however Mondo wasn't a barkyarder and that's not what he is notable for. His role in Combat Zone Wrestling and his life being included in a biography on his career are the notable parts. The game itself is named Backyard 2 but that is still irrelevent to the article as even if Mondo was a yardie that's not the notable part. --- Lid 14:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, and make the Sick Nick Mondo page a redirect. ONUnicorn 16:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
