Scott Hudson (announcer)

Contested PROD. Significant coverage of Hudson not found - just minor mentions. This has been unsourced for almost 3 years. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 13:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I want to say Keep since he was a major commentator (he was one of the 2 commentators on a weekly show that was watched by 6 million people every week plus a monthly PPV). Sources do need to be improved though.  TJ   Spyke   21:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: The sources do not need to be improved - they need to be provided (there are none). I looked, and couldn't find any. If you can find some, TJ Spyke, then please do add them. However, unless some can be found, I still feel that this article needs to be deleted. If he truly is notable, I would expect there to be significant coverage in the media - and if the American media don't think he's worthy of coverage, why should Wikipedia? --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 22:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


 * If I get around to it I may add these myself, but here is a fairly reliable source: .  TJ   Spyke   20:10, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Now is a good time to check that this is the same Scott Hudson that went by the name of "Hurricane" Scott Hudson in the old AWA. He also jobbed one time to Ted DiBiase in the WWF. Not much I know, but it would fill out the article if it cane be sourced. I know what I've just said is OR even though I know what I saw.  !! Just a Punk !!  04:48, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah I've just seen that someone else also mentioned it on the talk page a few years ago.  !! Just a Punk !!  04:52, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I look forward to you finding some reliable sources for that and adding them to the article! --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 07:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. PhilKnight (talk) 19:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of third-party sources. The only other significant coverage I found (besides the one linked above) was, which is probably not a reliable source by our guidelines. Robofish (talk) 01:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Scott Hudson is a notable professional wrestling personality, namely from his time with WCW during the Monday Night Wars. What's more, he also worked for the major promotions WWE and TNA, and he remains a pro wrestling announcer today. I've found two interviews with him and might incorporate their information into his article, with citations, if it's not deleted before I'm able to. If Jeremy Borash and SoCal Val are worthy enough for Wikipedia articles (and I don't object to that), as well as countless indie wrestlers that the average person's never even heard of, so is Scott Hudson for his contributions to one of the biggest eras in pro wrestling and his mainstream exposure on prime time cable TV.
