Keep, Wrestlecrap is extremely notable in the Internet wrestling community. You can't go to a wrestling forum and not find a mention of Wrestlecrap. --HBK|Talk 17:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Further Comment: Badger Badger Badger, given on WP:WEB as an example of a notable site, has an alexa rank of 78,383 [3], not all that far ahead of Wrestlecrap. --HBK|Talk 06:21, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, The site is relevant enough to have resulted in the publishing of 2 books, both of which were the bestselling wrestling books at Amazon.com, as well as a weekly webcast--Madbeatnik 01:46, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would this necessitate the deletion of Gooker Award as well?
Keep - notable within the wrestling community, considered to be akin to the Golden Raspberry Awards. Wrestlecrap is also the name of a book published by the maintainers of the site. kelvSYC 21:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep — I would say a lot more, but won't since the users who have voted to keep have said so more eloquently than I could. — Dale Arnett 07:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep very notable and long-established site within IWC. R D Reynolds' books are also very well-known in the community, with the second one also including an introduction by Dave Meltzer. Essexmutant 15:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
