[edit] Matt Boyd (amateur wrestler)

Serially recreated article. See [1] and Matt Boyd (wrestler). Article claims that he is a collegiate wrestler, but the linked reference shows he wrestled in high school last winter. In other words, he will be a freshman next month. Fails WP:BIO. JChap2007 01:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete --InShaneee 01:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or possibly Speedy Delete (recreation of deleted article). I have not seen the article at Matt Boyd (wrestler), which is why my speedy deletion reason was somewhat conditional (requesting that the admin who viewed it check). However, the article's author removed it. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 01:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete for NN Bio. This is a joke.

The collegiate level happens to be the highest level of amateur folkstyle wrestling. He has participated in a great many competitive events, and is the only wrestler to have been pinned by Zack Newborn in 2 minutes, 43 seconds.

1. The Olympics and other international wrestling tournaments are far more significant than college level
2. Namedropping and bragging about being pinned point towards a joke/personal entry. --Wafulz 02:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

   That is completely incorrect, folkstyle wrestling is not competed at the Olympics. That's like saying spacewalking is more interesting than this individual's sport so his article should be deleted. - Dollarsign$ 09:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

   Uh, what? I don't know what "fokstyle wrestling" means, but the freestyle wrestling performed at the Olympics is exactly the same wrestling as performed in college. Greco-Roman is different. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

   Your information is incorrect. Wrestling performed in American colleges is not the same style as either style performed at the Olympics. Please do not post incorrect information and present it as the truth, thus compromising the integrity of Wikipedia. 18.246.6.179 21:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

   Please explain what differences there are. User:Zoe|(talk) 00:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or possibly Speedy Delete per all above. Fails WP:NOT a place for every highschool wrestling chap to get an article. Fails WP:BIO. :) Dlohcierekim 03:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete per NeoChaosX --Edgelord 06:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete but do not protect against recreation. Not yet. One recreation is not a pattern. Travislangley 07:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment actually if you count the other article the nom. mentioned, it's been recreated at least twice --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 13:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete This article should not be deleted, but enhanced. If all the people ragging on this article devoted their efforts towards adding and improving to the article Wikipedia would be a better place. Also, if the kid competes in college wrestling now... doesn't that make him a college wrestler? - Dollarsign$ 09:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC) Of this new user's four edits, one is here and two are at Consumed Crustacean's RfA.

• Speedy Delete Vanity as are the other 2 that seem to go along with it. --Djsasso 14:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete and protect per above. NawlinWiki 14:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per WP:CSD A7, and possible recreated content, article fails to assert notability.-- danntm ^T _C 15:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per all above. MECU≈talk 21:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, since the only thing that even comes close is notability is an accomplished amateur wrestler at the collegiate level which is a lie, since he hasn't competed at the collegiate level yet. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Postpone Deletion If more evidence is added to the article explaining the wrestler's notability, it should stay. If not it should be deleted. 18.246.6.179 21:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
