• Keep This company is going on a major summer festival across North America with platinum artists. The Rockstar Uproar Festival features BCWA as a featured act on the tour and is mentioned in every press release as well hundreds of other websites, whether pro wrestling, music, or local entertainment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.235.81 (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC) — 70.91.235.81 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Comment, to meet CORP, the company needs to be mentioned in third party reliable sources. Please provide some. Nikki♥311 20:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep BCWA is larger and more well known than other companies on Wiki. I added more links to the site, please don't delete them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylebrent1861 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 15 July 2010 (UTC) — Kylebrent1861 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete Clearly fails WP:GNG as well as WP:CORP. Parts read as an advertisement as well. Mad Dog Dunstan (talk) 13:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Fails WP:CORP no evidence of any real coverage of any significance, and very spamy. Codf1977 (talk) 15:02, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:CORP. There also seems to be quite a bit of meatpuppetry going on. Erpert (let's talk about it) 02:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete All the pages linked in the article should be deleted as well. these are nothing but ads. Tom Reedy (talk) 04:31, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete G11 again. Another blatant promotional article. AinslieL (talk) 10:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:V, WP:N,and WP:COI As User:BCWABlackwell has the strong possibility of being Ron Blackwell, Owner and Promoter of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hasteur (talk • contribs) 11:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete as I can find some news citations online, but I am not sure they are all is about this corporation. Bearian (talk) 20:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (SPA Kylebrent1861 already !voted above) Every of the sites posted above are all the same and only Blue Collar Wrestling Alliance. I see no harm in this page staying online. It is more credible than many other companies currently posted on Wiki. It is rare for independent wrestling to even get enough exposure to be considered to warrant a wiki page. This company is going on a North American Tour with many notable performers and companies backing the tour. BCWA is considered to be amongst the top independent promotions in the United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylebrent1861 (talk • contribs) 02:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
