Doesn't pass WP:GNG. Sources mention details about the match, but not why the match independently notable. Most of the article is taken up by a plot summary, while the "Legacy" section just mentions future storyline developments. Wikipedia is not a summary-only description of works. Also fails WP:PWMATCH/WP:LASTING. — Czello (music) 07:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - doesn't need a standalone article separate to the event at which it took place. If any Taker-Foley match merits a standalone article, it's their Hell in a Cell match, which has a massive legacy, not this one..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I am the creator of this article. I found an [1] that supports this match's importance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulysses Grant Official (talk • contribs) 00:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Sources the source in question is unreliable so it can’t be used to demonstrate notability, or in other words is useless to support the match being important.--67.70.144.202 (talk) 02:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, The Sportster should never be used for any reason. It also takes multiple sources to demonstrate notability (WP:GNG).LM2000 (talk) 03:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Sportskeeda is an unreliable source too, and the article relies on stuff by TheSportster and Sportskeeda (5/6 citations). The reliability of the remaining source (Kee On Sports Media Group) for pro wrestling content is uncertain. The match itself is not something special/notable outside of wrestling community. A notable PW match is something like Montreal Screwjob or Mankind vs. The Undertaker. --Mann Mann (talk) 05:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
