[edit] Manuel Vegas

This stub article was listed as a candidate for speedy deletion. I believe that the article's statement that the person in a professional wrestler in Canada's Northern Championship Wrestling makes this an improper CSD but I am listing it here out of courtesy to the editor whose speedy tag I removed. No vote at this time. -- DS1953 ^talk 06:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Abstain. I see where the speedy nominator comes from. It makes a claim to notability, but really doesn't say anything useful apart from that. CSD A1 was appropriate, but if anyone is willing to add a line or two of basic information, I'd be happy to keep this without reservations. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: Non-notable biography. There are many wrestlers and they come and go. Hu 18:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

There's also scores of professional footballers, and atletes, but we still keep those. If you're going to delete this, please do it based on lack of content. Notability shouldn't be an issue with professional sportsmen. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Professional wrestlers are not sportspeople, they are performers. We do not have pages for every obscure performer in a band. Hu 09:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm relisting this to generate more discussion. --Angr (t·c) 18:55, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per what we ought to be doing with footballers, et alii. Not a notable person. - brenneman^(t)(c) 02:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep professional sportsman/entertainer. Let's put the users first. Kappa 06:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- no consensus should (IMHO) always point to keeping -- SockpuppetSamuelson 08:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, per Hu. -- Phædriel ^*whistle* 11:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC
• Delete as non-notable. -- Kjkolb 13:34, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Google for "Manuel Vegas" Quebec yields 1,150 hits, showing notability. Visiting the first couple links shows validity. This is a wrestling stub, not some high school student get trying to feign notability. Turnstep 03:52, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
