[edit] United Wrestling Federation (Australia)
Deleted earlier after Afd discussion. Not exactly a repost as now someone has set up a MySpace page and a couple of yahoo pages. Still nothing in the reliable sources range I think. I can't find evidence in the article or by googling that this is anything more than someone's fantasy role playing. Deprodded with message in talk. Weregerbil 09:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete unless more sources (preferably those which aren't self-published and hosted through Yahoo/MySpace) appear. BigHaz 09:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment and no vote for now since this is a difficult one. It sure looks like an elaborate hoax, but references to the UWF of Australia can also be found on these (independent) pages (all though they all deal with this one event, the Bankstown Bash) Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC):
- March 4, 2006--United Wrestling Federation - Bankstown Bash in Sydney, Australia at Bankstown PCYC:... [1] (www.obsessedwithwrestling.com).
- The United Wrestling Federation of Australia has announced that... [2] (www.prowrestling.com).
- Comment Yeah, the obsessedwithwrestling page is exactly why I couldn't bring myself to {{db-repost}}ing the article; I'm still hoping for reliable sources. OTOH there is a "send results to..." mail link at the top of that page; how does obsessedwithwrestling check that emailed results are real?
And the prowrestling.com page: there is an identically named wrestling federation in the USA; www.uwfusa.com mentioned just above the Bankstown Bash bit. Which UWF is it talking about?Blind me: it does say ...of Australia. One point for this being actually real. Weregerbil 10:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete possible speedy. Still no reliable sources for the article since the last article for deletion so it fails under verifiability. Still no Australian newspaper or other media results or other information to verify this. It should have been speedied.Capitalistroadster 22:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Speedy delete Page has essentially not gained any suitable source information from the last discussion, therefore, this is in essence a Reposting under the guidelines. Suggest the user develop a page in user space with reliable sources and then put in a proposal to move instead of reposting in article space in the future. Ansell 00:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
