Vachon wrestling family

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not a family in need of a seperate article, an infobox similar to the Hart family may be a better way of connecting the articles. Information from this page should be worked into the main articles. Darrenhusted 15:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep If "the family was the subject of a documentary" then there is some evidence of separate notability for the family. JJL 17:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The individual family members are probably notable, but this family is nowhere near the levels of the Hart family or the Von Erich family. Possibly redirect to one of the members (the father or the daughter, I think the daughter is the most notable).  And move it to Vachon family if it's kept.  --UsaSatsui 04:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Nikki311 23:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, I've changed my mind due to sourcing and expansion of the article. Nikki311 16:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've added five cited references to the article, specifically those refering to family members as part of the "legendary Vachon wrestling family" or refering to the family as prominent within professional wrestling. To be fair, regarding the statement of the above editor, the references already provided support the Vachon family to be on equal ground with the Hart family or the Von Erichs. 209.213.84.10 18:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The Vachon family is nowhere near as significant as the other wrestling families discussed here. Many wrestlers have relatives involved in the business, but stub articles that do little more than link to the invidividual articles don't help. GaryColemanFan 21:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it's got enough sources to satisfy the notability & verifiability criteria. Yes it could be expanded and improved but deletion isn't really going to neither expand nor improve it. It could for example be expanded to cover their Kayfabe brother Stan Vachon who doesn't warrant his own article but should be mentioned on the family page. MPJ-DK 04:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is arguably a family more deserving of a page than, say, the Dudley family, it's just older. There is a definite legacy there, as Mad Dog, Butcher and Vivian were a dominant force in the AWA (which was, in its day, comparable to at least WCW in scope). Then Luna was the first female to have one-on-one matches with heavyweight men in ECW and WWF, long before Chyna. This article fills a gap. There are members who don't have their own pages, and their info can't be stuffed into a navbox. It does need to be fleshed out, but keep.TravelingCat 06:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
