Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mighty Don't Kneel


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. The article is a mess; that's not a reason to delete, but I suspect it's getting in the way of people forming a clear consensus on notabiltiy, which is the key issue here. So, let's keep the article for now and hopefully somebody will fix the structural issues. After that, if notability hasn't been established, it can come back here for another look. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

The IP user 101.172.213.65 added the template to the article but apparently could not create the nomination page. They left the following comment on the talk page of the article: This tag team has no substantive coverage outside of Japan, and even within Japan it appears promotional only. Plenty of unsubstantiated claims without sources in the article. To this end this fails WP:N and WP:GNG. Neither have been established. (Note that I am purely creating the nomination, I have no opinion on the article). Ymblanter (talk) 10:46, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep International tag team currently contracted to Pro Wrestling NOAH, a major Japanese wrestling company. KingMorpheus (talk) 22:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is not inherited from Pro Wrestling NOAH. No sourced activity outside Japan if there is any activity, therefore not an international tag team. Activity in Japan appears limited to one company, therefore fails WP:GNG in my opinion. BerleT (talk) 21:08, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * They've worked in ROH and OVW. Your opinion is wrong. KingMorpheus (talk) 04:49, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Added a source proving they've wrestled in at least 6 promotions in Australia, Japan and USA.  starship.paint  (talk &#124; contribs) 05:50, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * One match in ROH does not make them notable. Only one promotion in Australia is somewhat suspicious, and it seems that the vast majority of their matches have been with NOAH. I maintain my position that they are not an international tag team. The only concession I'll give them is adding the word "yet". BerleT (talk) 07:39, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep NOAH Champions and Tokyo Sports' tag team of the year. The article, though, is horrible and needs some serious work.リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (talk) 11:52, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability not established. Champions in one promotion and winning one award that is not well known outside of the area does not make a case and not enough evidence to prove any international standing per BerleT. Needs to do a lot more to pass WP:GNG. Agree with Ribbon about the quality of the article as well. Little coverage in English, which also goes to notability. 58.165.7.185 (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Non notable tag team with some even less notable one off hanger-onners. Agree with BerleT that any notability is inherited from NOAH and doesn't stand up on it's own. 203.17.215.22 (talk) 23:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
