Smoky Mountain Wrestling

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party reliable sources. This article consists nearly entirely of original research, the only references provided mention the subject in passing. Coverage I'm finding is largely in blogs. RadioFan (talk) 06:23, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - in an hour or so I was able to put plenty of sources on this article, enough to address the wall of tags the nominator put ont he article basically minutes before putting it up for AFD (I removed them since they were addressed). So with citations the article is not "nearly entirely original research", none of the sources are blogs, some are from industry experts who have published several books etc.  MPJ  -US 10:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and block nominator (or demand apology) for disruptive and pointless nomination. SMW is well known as one of the most prominent independent federations of the late 20th century. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:04, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment really, "block nominator"? I'm happy to see someone has identified sources and look forward to your improvements to the article.  You were able to find sources that I wasn't in Google news and book searches on the title.  These produced pages of blogs with the occasional book mentioning the subject in passing.
