 * Delete My search found no mention of these events except for lists of results or press releases from the sponsoring organization. Papaursa (talk) 04:19, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling The entire contents have this page of been copied so I'm changing my vote to a redirect. Looking at the contents of the NWA Smoky Mountain page does make me wonder about its notability, but that's a topic for another discussion. Papaursa (talk) 11:31, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete for a lack of independent sources, much less significant coverage in independent sources. I didn't find any. Fails WP:GNG. I did find coverage of the high school soccer tournament(s) with the same name. See also NWA Smoky Mountain The Finale which seems to have the same infirmaties. Maybe someone could have a gentle talk with the creator and mentor him some? --Bejnar (talk) 06:59, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep NWA Smoky Mountain is a well recognized territory for the National Wrestling Alliance tho solo pages may not be needed the information they hold can be merged with the NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling page if need be I have given sources for each event so claims of their not being and any "Mention" of them in a search is truly invalid if your searching correctly using proper key words needed too find something you'll find it JMichael22 (talk) 07:57, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Since you have now added the entire contents of this page to NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling, a redirect (not keep) now makes sense. However, the lack of significant sources for that page makes me question the organization's notability. Papaursa (talk) 11:31, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * The Organazation as been around since 2004 and is controlled under the National Wrestling Alliance as a territory and by far the National Wrestling Alliance is one of the longest running Professional Wrestling organizations in wrestling history NWA Smoky Mountain Wrestling is a rebirth of Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling that closed in 1995 JMichael22 (talk) 23:21, 19 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - the NWA of today is not the NWA of previous years, this is just a low level indy fed that pays for the name. It has nothing to do with Smokey Mountain Wrestling except being in the same area and taking the name, nothing links the two. It's a low level indy fed - Does not gain notabiity from paying for the NWA name nor using the same name as a previous promotion. If I pay the annual fee and start a backyard fed called "NWA Mid-Atlantic Wrestling" I don't gain notability because some previous organization was notable. Not sure if the main page even qualifies under the notability guideline, but that's not the discussion at hand, but I believe the main page may fail an AFD as well.
