List of professional wrestling promotions in Australia
Created by an IP through a poorly sourced AFC, who appears to have a vested interest in this bringing a possible COI issue into consideration. Fails

- delete, overriding concern that this type of content is not encyclopedic and mass advertising. Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. As per my response bad faith. That the nominator's insistance there are no notable wrestling promotions in Australia, or there are not enough to compile a listing, suggests systemic bias. 71.184.39.119 (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- A number of promotions have already had articles deleted. As I am in Australia, I will check the references - and I'm willing to bet they are unreliable under WP rules. It's happened before with things like press releases (which are not allowed) and fan sites. !! Punk !! 09:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy per Mal Case. Also WP:NOT, as this is a directory without a doubt. RICK ME DOODLE YOU DOODLE 09:34, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural Note: The nominator has removed several valid references from the article during this deletion discussion. This is a tactic used by several of his allies, and supported by the nominator, in a previous deletion discussion. Because of the irregularities caused by their insistence to not have the article viewed on its merits, the result was declared invalid. If, as the nominator claims, the references are invalid, there is absolutely no justifiable reason to remove them during this discussion. If people commenting in the discussion don't agree with the sources, the article would be deleted. They should be given a chance to decide for themselves, however. I trust that the closing administrator will have the decency to make it clear that pushing one's point of view as the nominator has done is unacceptable on Wikipedia.

- Note to closing admin - the references removed were press releases/advertisements. They were therefore not valid under Punk !! 10:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, CSD G12 concerns aside, most of this is excessive detail. List of professional wrestling promotions is not so large that promotions with sources and the like cannot be added in there. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]
