This is a recently created WP:BLP of a young person who is an active proponent of professional wrestling. The editor creating the page appears to be a single purpose account with the same name as the subject of the page, raising issues of WP:COI. On first glance, the page appears to claim significant notability. However, on close examination, it fails WP:ENT and WP:GNG. All of the external links that are presented as "sources" go to websites such as Facebook pages that were created promotionally by the subject. Searches of Google News (as well as Google Books and Google Scholar) yield zero hits for the subject name. Tryptofish (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: apparent hoax, no reliable sources.—Kww(talk) 01:22, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I don't think that it's literally a hoax, more a vanity page, but it's clearly a no-brainer for delete. I would have put it up for CSD, but the page claims notability. I put it up for PROD, but the template was reverted. User:JackCasperStyles, the creator of the page, keeps deleting the template for this AfD as well, but does not appear interested in responding to requests to justify the page. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a hoax in the sense that I don't think the kid has any relationship to the WWE aside from being a fan.—Kww(talk) 15:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the kid should keep his own fan page restricted to the "WWE Universe" where it is more appropriate. MPJ -US 19:02, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin: User:JackCasperStyles keeps deleting the template, even though I repeatedly tell him at his user talk that he should not do so. Assuming that the decision is delete, please consider salting the page as well. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:36, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Kww. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:GNG. Nikki♥311 03:03, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:N considerably. A google search did not return any third party reputable credibility for this kid. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:06, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete & Salt, after a second glance, it is easy to see that this article is not of a notable person at all. The article is also written very poorly and is not categorizes. And from what I have read above the page needs to be salted, so it will not be created again. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:43, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
