Incomplete AfD submission - reason was given in the article talk page quoted below. Peter Rehse (talk) 13:14, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Top profesional wrestler in Ireland" is a personal opinion and does not have any source to back this claim up. The subject of this article does not meet guidelines set out by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability. The Irish Whip Wrestling website is the only reference given & only confirms his titles in IWW & nothing more. There are no citations for any of the apparant martial arts accomplishments. Article should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.120.161.6 (talk) 11:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I wasn't able to find anything to show he's notable except for the claim by an online columnist saying he's the IWW (Irish Whip Wrestling) Zero Gravity champion (whatever that means) and that "Mandrake is probably the best Irish-born wrestler that you didn't know about five minutes ago." That's not an overwhelming claim of notability. I don't know if that's a reliable source and the article's only source is the IWW website. I'm not a wrestling fan, so perhaps someone can find some reliable sources that show notability. If the article is kept it should probably be renamed to "Garth Kidd" since that's his actual name.
