Union Cane

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is about a fictional boxer from Rocky V. Union Cane does not have any significant coverage independent reliable sources to establish notability. The article is sourced entirely to the Rocky wikia, an unreliable source. Redirects to the film have been repeatedly undone. Whpq (talk) 18:04, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_Rocky_characters. —Kusma (t·c) 18:12, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect Per nom, and past redirect rationales. Editor who has repeatedly restored the article should be thrown a final warning, and/or, the article should be salted. -- ferret (talk) 18:18, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested. Barely appears in the one film he is mentioned in and has no significant cultural impact so does not merit an article. Dunarc (talk) 18:22, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per nom. Not even close to independent notability. Sergecross73   msg me  20:44, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * No Redirect since Union Cane is a significant character in the 1990 film, Rocky V. He was a former heavyweight champion, and I believe he deserves a place on this wiki. JustInTime1 (talk) 13:20, 21 August 2017 (MYT)
 * Claiming a character is "significant" or "deserving" without showing how he meets the WP:GNG is meaningless on Wikipedia. That won't persuade anyone here. Also note that he is a "former heavyweight champion" only in the context of a fictional movie. He is not a real person, and is not a real wrestler, so he certainly wasn't actually a heavyweight champion. Sergecross73   msg me  12:28, 21 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect. Not independently notable and as per my edits on the page, there are no sources available either. Suggest protecting it after closing this discussion due to the amount of times its been changed from being a redirect.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )  06:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect Sourced to wikis, no evidence whether this information is factually correct or just something fans guessed at or made up; may even be original research. Article should be stripped of all unsourceable data, leaving it pretty much empty. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:18, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
