Proposed deletion of Andrew Ryker

The article Andrew Ryker has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable wrestler. Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:BIO. Refs are weak/non-existent. Was previously proodded to deletion but recently recreated.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Pius Heinz

Hey Barry, Thanks for you help with Pius... BUT... if you delete a reference from an article that is named, take a look to see if it is used elsewhere. If it is used elsewhere, don't delete the other item saying that the reference doesn't exist. Thanks.---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 14:57, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, totally an honest mistake on my part. I'll be much more careful in ensuring I don't accidentally delete a ref.BarryTheUnicorn (talk)

No prob, like I said, I appreciate having another person actively editing the poker articles... we don't always see eye-to-eye on what should/shouldn't be there, but I think that is a benefit to the project not a detriment ;-)---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 15:27, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed 100%. :) We clearly want to see quality poker articles on Wiki. So even if we don't agree all the time, it's because we share the same desire to raise the level of quality.BarryTheUnicorn (talk)

World Wrestling Entertainment

I did not vandalize any page World Wrestling Entertainment is the companys legal name the only simplified it to WWE check they DVDS,opening intro,annoncers table hell even check there wikipedia page it's there name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acer723 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. But thanks for playing. --BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 13:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me?

Please explain this. There's a delayed broadcast of SmackDown in America, but in Australia, it airs on Friday here (Thursday in America), and I saw Teddy Long announce it himself. I'll use a different reference, but I advise you don't revert it. Steven Zhang ^{DR goes to Wikimania!} 00:46, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the match announced on WWE.com. So you can see it wasn't made up. Nice going there assuming good faith, keep it up. Steven Zhang ^{DR goes to Wikimania!} 05:05, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was not on WWE.com at the time you posted it. No other sources are valid, and this has been the case for an incredibly long time. Yes, I'm fully aware that SmackDown airs earlier in other parts of the world; but until WWE.com formally announces it, it cannot be posted. Thank you.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 06:48, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but in what policy does it say that? You should read WP:V, because secondary sources are preferred over primary sources (like WWE.com). You're very free to go to WT:V and ask for the policy to be changed, but saying that WWE.com is the only source allowed is contrary to Wikipedia policy. If that's what the wikiproject says otherwise, then they too need to reread policy. Steven Zhang ^{DR goes to Wikimania!} 08:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The key word is reliable. The two sites you used (Bleacher Report and WrestlingNewsInc.com) are not considered to be reliable sources. Even on the talk page, you admitted you were unaware that Bleacher Report is largely a self-reporting "news" site. There are certainly reliable secondary sources out there, such as Wrestling Observer or PWInsider, as there is proven history of both of those sites having established sources within the company. So while I'll admit that limiting sources to WWE.com may seem pretty strict and unfair on the surface, it's one of the few ways editors can ensure that 100% accurate and verifiable information is being written on these pages. You admitted that you don't edit wrestling pages often. If you did, you would see the daily problem we have of having to undo edits from either unsourced material or wrestling "newz" sites...neither of which are (again) reliable. --BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 14:25, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ivellise

i don´t agree on your last change the union with Britani knight should be mentioned as they now are the Anti diva army tag team don´t you think? --Nakurio (talk) 16:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This says nothing about them becoming an anti-diva tag team. It's simply a recap that she "ganged up" (which is inappropriate Wiki verbiage anyway) against other females. We are not supposed to add week-by-week recaps of what happens on television. If someone can fully explain (and source) the significance of the incident, fine. Other than that, it's just a glorified recap.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 17:03, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it was not made right, i look if i find enough sure for the anti diva army and add it then. --Nakurio (talk) 17:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just please source it properly (from a valid source, such as FCW.com, PWInsider, Wrestling Observer, or PWTorch) and explain its significance. Chances are that if it's from an unreliable source, it'll simply be reverted again.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 17:07, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you could give me some minutes before just reverting it again, I'm just looking for sources and see you reverted everything again whats the problem? --Nakurio (talk) 17:27, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Read my comments. The source your provided says, "Paige has made an impact by forming a loose allegiance with Sofia Cortez in an "Anti-Diva" army of sorts." That is not an official team name, nor does it state they are an official team. It's a "loose allegiance." Simply put, make sure the source is fully supportive of your statement before you add it, or it will get reverted. I'm not saying this to be a jerk -- it's simply how Wikipedia maintains verifiability.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 17:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i did i am searching more sources to add and you just revert it i was distracted by this damn thing you put everywhere citation needed, i gave you one. --Nakurio (talk) 17:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, do not come to my page and swear. That warrants a warning from Wikipedia. Secondly, don't add the source until it's for sure. It's that simple.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 17:33, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i used two sources the one says its a alliance the other says the alliance is called Anti diva army. Are you now saying this isn´t legit?--Nakurio (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Read it again. It is the same statement I said before: "Paige has made an impact by forming a loose allegiance with Sofia Cortez in an "Anti-Diva" army of sorts." That is NOT the name of their tag team -- it is simply a description of the "loose allegiance" they have formed. So to answer your question -- no, it is not legit.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 18:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

then i got another question how come you don´t delete the finisher and signatures that are not sourced? --Nakurio (talk) 18:12, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problem solved.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 18:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i guess the page will be discussed to delete soon as there are not many reliable sources about here time in puerto rico. anyway you do a great job, wrestling pages in wiki are not easy to keep up especially when there are so less sources like in this case. And as far as the diva army goes you will see them refer to each other as it then we just add it, might take some more weeks.--Nakurio (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Once FCW officially refers to them as the "Anti-Diva Army" (or whatever name they may choose), I'll be more than happy to add it with the appropriate sources.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 18:47, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the cage match source says she is in a relationship with hammett but it is on german shall we add it or isn´t it reliable?--Nakurio (talk) 18:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not really important, to be honest.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 19:06, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PWI/WON HoF

The "Hall of Fame" link on the PWI website (see here) leads to a listing of the WON HoF. Any issue of PWI which discusses their HoF explicitly states that the WON HoF is PWI's HoF. Or am I right in assuming that you're leaving it up to someone else to do the actual legwork? RadioKAOS – Talk to me, Billy 01:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All someone needs to do is source it. If something is on a page unsourced, it's more likely to either be tagged for removal or removed altogether.--BarryTheUnicorn (talk) 14:04, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember whether or not I still have copies of any PWI issues in which they explicitly state this. They certainly don't hide this fact. Therefore, it's about as much a no-brainer as "Barack Obama is the president of the United States." Employing your logic, I'll be looking forward to viewing the deletion of any unsourced instances of that statement (*snort*, *chortle*).
