Non-notable "wrestler" lacking GHits and GNEW of substance. The article references are all unrelated to article subject. Should have been Speedy. ttonyb (talk) 15:36, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I had a hard time determining if this asserted notability, mainly because I'm still not sure if the article is about a person or a group. The lead indicates that it is both, and many sentences don't have subjects. The "#1" rating in PWI's "Best Wrestlers" list makes me question if the whole thing is a joke. In fact, I can't find any reference to High South Wrestling outside of pages that this user has created, and all links that supposedly refer to HSW actually go to pages about other promotions. I'm actually inclined to believe that this is a hoax and would support speedy deletion. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The same goes for the other articles created by this user: HSW World-W Championship, ESW-W Championship, and Kiniro Kodomo. I haven't found anything on the internet to demonstrate that they are not hoaxes. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:29, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
