Bobby Cruise

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable BLP of a wrestler. Wikidemon is mass-reverting PROD tags from unsourced BLPs, without even attempting to source them. Unit Anode 00:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Premier League noted wrestler. Off2riorob (talk) 01:20, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're just mass-voting "keep", without really looking into it. I suspected, but wasn't sure of, this until this !vote. He's not a "Premier League noted wrestler", at least according to the non-sourced article. He's an announcer. Unit Anode 01:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but hes a notable announcer. Off2riorob (talk)

No, he's not. And even if he were, the above is proof that you're not even investigating, and just voting "keep" on everything. Unit Anode 01:46, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here he is being interviewed about it, there is loads of stuff out there about him, sure hes not obama but people are interested. Also.. I have looked at some and not voted to keep. Here he is being interviewed in a radio interview . Off2riorob (talk) 01:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MYSPACE?!? You're linking me to MYSPACE?!?!?!? Unit Anode 01:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Easy tiger, I am just had a little look and there does seem to be notability, I am not a wrestling fan but I am sure the article can be improved and saved by someone that is. Off2riorob (talk) 01:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete or stub down to nothing - not reliably sourced. Off2riorob, we get it, you're against doing something to solve the BLP problem. Closing admin should disregard most of your view I think since it's kneejerk (the mass keep votes suggest that), and focus on the part where you assert notability. ++Lar: t/c 02:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unsourced BLP with not a shred of notability. Think Different? {{sofixit}}. Jack Merridew 04:28, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Google News searches are good so I'll talk about that since no one else has bothered to (believe it or not this AfD is not just merely a site to continue the Great BLP War of Early Twenty-Ten). The archives that pop up on a search on "Bobby Cruise" suggest there is little or nothing to work with in terms of writing an article (not all of the 22 articles are even about the wrestling dude, and those that are do not seem to be substantive). There are some mentions on blogs and other places on the web but I'm not finding reliable sources, meaning we have a definite failure to establish notability and arguably cannot even verify basic facts about this chap. I'll also point out that the "source" cited by Off2riorob (not the MySpace one) includes this marvelous piece of information: "Bobby then talks about working for Zero-One Max and Dragon Gate, mentioning that there'll be a Dragon Gate dojo in the US before finishing off the interview with one of those CW Anderson Tokyo stories and eating COW'S COCK! Keith talks briefly about testicles before talking about his favorite colour cupcakes!" So if we do keep this bad boy that bit about cupcakes and cow cock should definitely go right into the article because that source is like as awesome as wrestling or sumething lol. Sorry about that last bit but I really hate wrestling and don't get to make fun of it nearly enough. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I only see passing mentions in dubious sources. As always, will reconsider if better sources are found. Quantpole (talk) 11:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - thoroughly unnotable, an announcer in some minor league? fails WP:N big time. MPJ -DK 05:45, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
