Fails WP:CORP. All the sources in the article are primary, a blog, YouTube, or the like. Nikki♥311 01:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No independent sources can be found to confirm notability. All the references in the article go to the RCW own web site. --Crunch (talk) 02:42, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It took me ten seconds to find independent sources here, here, here, here, and here. given another 10 seconds I am sure I could find another half dozen sources. Honestly, did you even look? Inniverse (talk) 02:53, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article still completely fails Wikipedia:Notability (sports). Four of the five sources you quote are completely trivial: listings of events or notices in fan blogs and similar sites. The fifth (canoe.ca) references a completely different River City Wrestling organization. Independent sources should confirm the notability of the organization, not just confirm the existence of the organization. --Crunch (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article describes an insignifcant wrestling promotion. If we can create this, we may as well create an article for the other HUNDREDS of no-name promotions across the nation. And I agree with Crunch on the sources listed by Inniverse. --☯The Dark Lord of Wiki☯ (talk) 15:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability. All sources are currently primary or just not reliable. SnottyWong ^spout 17:53, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable independent wrestling company, has used a lot of notable names in wrestling like Mick Foley, Alisha Flash, Hernandez, Hamada and more. Also had a TV show at one time, very notable company, more than others on this site. 76.235.197.95 (talk) 22:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - has used notable wrestlers but has no independent notability itself. --Endlessdan (talk) 19:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
