[edit] Professional wrestling illegal weapons

I do not see how this could be made a real encyclopedia article. Was tagged prod with rationale "Indiscriminate list per WP:NOT, literally everything in the world is an illegal weapon in wrestling" (Liberatore, 2006). 11:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete at best this could be merged into wrestling article, but even then, you can make a list that goes on and on of illegal weapons. --Porqin 12:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nomination --RMHED 13:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, infinite lists are bad. --zero faults |sockpuppets| 14:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as I was responsible for the original prod. hateless 16:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I will now proceed to give the article a thorough and unnecessary Simon Cowelling.
    • Title is malformed. Should be List of illegal weapons in professional wrestling.
    • Title is borderline insulting, as anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows that the only thing that's actually illegal in wrestling is breaking character during a show. The term the creator is looking for is "foreign objects".
    • Article is heavily biased towards turn-of-the-millennium wrestling and WWE wrestlers (where's Ric Flair's roll of dimes, made famous while he was well outside the WWE?). The foreign object tradition of wrestling goes deep, to long before the era of broken kayfabe.
    • List is pointless -- as pointed out by prodder, literally anything can be used as a foreign object in wrestling.
