[edit] TNA iMPACT! Community

TNA iMPACT! Community (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete, appears to be what it is on the surface: a non-notable, defunct forum that was part of the TNA official website. Much of it just appears to be a chronology of what it was and its demise, without any WP:RS indicating that this forum had any sort of notability outside of the scope of the TNA website, and possibly astroturfing/spamvertising for the unofficial fora that have been spawned as a result. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as above (except that I'd never say "fora"). -- Hoary 06:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I felt weird typing it. Glad to see I'm not the only one. --Kinu ^t/_c 06:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or allow a page for the unofficial site?? BrianRFSU 06:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Amended:- The TNA Community, whether officially recognized or not, is still the #1 form of communication from the federation to their fans, and while the community is not recognized, the promotion is, as I have noted in my unofficial site, the Miami herald, a preeminent newspaper, wrote an article about the "feud" between TNA and MLB. To say that having two of the top ten sports in our country working together, is not notable.. then what is? Also TNA is the #2 wrestling promotion in the US, if not the world. Especially with the introduction of Kurt Angle, an olympic medalist, from WWE to TNA , TNA is becoming more and more notable. What I think is interesting is that there are sites for defunct sports teams. So why couldn't we a defunct to the commmunity page and call it a day
    • To allow an article on any unofficial sites would not resolve the problem that this article has no WP:RS indicating any sort of notability per WP:WEB. Assuming that articles on unofficial, fan-run sites would likely run into the same problem, it seems apropos to say that two wrongs don't make a right here. Please base your recommendation to keep on Wikipedia policy and guidelines, as that will strengthen your argument. Can you provide sources indicating that the particular site being discussed herein is notable? --Kinu ^t/_c 07:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no evidence from reliable sources that WP:WEB is met. MER-C 07:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• -Miami Herald not "reliable" ?? BrianRFSU 07:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Can you provide a link to the article? MER-C 07:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/wrestling/16215395.htm

• That article is about the company, not the website. MER-C 13:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete and merge and relevant info to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. No real reason for it's official forum to have it's own article. TJ Spyke 08:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Certainly a relevant part of TNA's history. Itsmeltc 14:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Your claim of "[c]ertainly" doesn't assert notability per WP:WEB. How is it a relevant part of TNA's history? The article needs reliable sources indicating such. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable message board. Fails WP:WEB.--Nick Y. 22:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Nick Y. One Night In Hackney 08:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB and above. --Aaru Bui ^DII 05:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete More wrestlecraft! This is like advertising them and their forum it's goto go! Govvy 15:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
