Viva Las Divas of the WWE
Originally nominated for PROD by User:Court Jester, I am instead placing it on AFD as WWE_Divas_Do_New_York, a similar article, is currently up for AFD under this same date. Court Jester's reasons for PROD were: '''Direct to video DVD. Article contains no meaningful information other than a listing of the DVD's scenes.''' This nomination should not be considered a vote on my behalf (I will vote below with reason) or on behalf another Wikipedia editor. 23skidoo 19:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, due to precedent. Other articles of this type for made-for-video productions exist on Wikipedia. It needs expanding, however. 23skidoo 19:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Diva (professional wrestling) into an article about the video series It doesn't need its own article. joturn e r 19:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Suggested compromise - I'd also support the merging of the articles into one single one about the WWE Video Line. I think they DVDs are too popular to be merged into the Divas article, but they can probably stand together as one article. 23skidoo 19:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That's correct. I changed my vote because article isn't about the series; I meant the article should be merged into an article about the series. joturn e r 20:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia . Until and unless there is sustained study and reporting on the subject "Viva Las Divas of the WWE", published in reliable, reputable works, we may not write an encyclopedia article on it. Wikipedia is not a space where anyone may leave jottings on any subject, however trivial, however utterly unresearched, without due consideration of the article space policies. If anyone locates reliable sources focused on the subject "Viva las Divas of the WWE"—books, monographs, theses, journal articles, even a thoughtful analysis in the pages of, say, The New York Times—do let me know and I'll be glad to take another look.

 * Delete This video suffers from the same basic problem most direct to video releases suffer from: A severe lack of reliable sources to allow for a neutral and verifiable article. Material of this sort is appropriate when information such as critical reviews (Amazon comments don't count) and sales and rental numbers are published by credible sources.

 * Delete. Doesn't merit its own encyclopedia page. Zaxem 06:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
