WWE Global Warning Melbourne

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is about one event in a 2002 WWE tour that may or may not have been a Pay-per-view broadcast, though it it would it appear that it was not.

The article cites DVD releases of this one event. The notability of this event or its parent tour may have changed over the years, and so I think it would be appropriate to at least discuss it again.

That said, the references given in this article do not demonstrate how this event passes WP:GNG or any other number of policies and guidelines relating to events of this sort. I'm fine with anyone re-tagging this for speedy deletion again.

 * Speedy delete and salt "Global Warning" has been deleted before and was explicitly described by journalist Dave Meltzer as not having been a PPV.LM2000 (talk) 21:21, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * here's that Meltzer source in case anybody needs it. There was a lengthy debate over this last May which ended when WWE Global Warning was deleted.  The content is still available at Professional wrestling in Australia, though I think it is WP:UNDUE to give it its own section there.LM2000 (talk) 01:31, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with the speedy deletion consensus. This event page pops up on WP every couple of years and it's the same debate every time. Someone claims this event is important because it was a WWE pay-per-view event. Then when they can't provide reliable sources that prove that it was indeed a PPV event, the page gets deleted. Furthermore, as LM2000 mentioned above, Dave Meltzer(one of the most respected and reliable wrestling sources) has already confirmed that this event did not air on PPV anywhere in the world. And without it being a PPV event(or WWE Network event) there really is little use for an entire page on what is basically a house show that was taped. OldSkool01 (talk) 10:47, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
