This is the rationale for not having an article on NXT TakeOver. Chiefly, it is not a PPV. Most special TV episodes do NOT have individual articles. See Clash of the Champions for example, there are instead compiled into a list like List of WWE NXT special episodes. Another example: TNA No Surrender#2013, a special TV episode. NXT TakeOver isn't even a TV episode. If you ask, then why is NXT Arrival so special? The answer is, it was the first professional wrestling show on the WWE Network. It and not Elimination Chamber (2013) was chosen as the test-run for WrestleMania XXX on the Network. NXT TakeOver does not have this to back it up that it deserves individual article status. Discuss and achieve consensus before creating an article. starship.paint"YES!"08:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think this event definitely deserves an article. There's 3 title matches and a contender's match, Hart and Flair, it's clearly PPV-level in quality. This isn't just some side-show that regularly airs exclusively on WWE network, it's a major event. Ranze (talk) 03:17, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ranze, to you it's PPV-level in quality due to title matches, but 1) it's still not PPV, 2) it's not even TV, it doesn't air internationally at all, only in the USA 3) PPVs are generally 3 hours long, this is 2 hours long, 4) precedent has been set that special TV episodes like Clash of the Champions have no singular article to themselves. Keep in mind, at Clash of the Champions, all titles were defended. starship.paint"YES!"03:25, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do we always have to follow precedent? This is currently seems more important than any individual CotC is. Isn't WWE today more massive than WCW was then? If nothing notable besides the vacant Women's Title being won we could very easily merge it. Arrival also appears to have its own page. Ranze (talk) 03:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
