List of WCW alumni

This article is being considered for deletion because of an existing category of the same quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clay4president (talk • contribs)

Delete - because of the category, Category:World Championship Wrestling alumni. Clay4president 05:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — category already does the work M a rtinp23 10:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The existence of a category is not necessarily a reason to delete a list. In this case, the ordering is not exactly the same. JPD (talk) 10:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The list adds nothing to the already existing category. Wickethewok 15:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article is yet another bloody smeggy list and as all the lists I have found seems to be in violation of both Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory. The article has a very brief one sentence introduction. Plus who the bloody hell cares about a fake "sport" anyway? Displaced Brit 20:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment People do care about it, in some cases just as much as people care about "real" sports such as football. This really isn't the place to be knocking other peoples' interests. --Jtalledo (talk) 10:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this list it is very important resource for people interested in wrestling and i have found this a very good resource. Also it is not a 'fake' sport try telling that to mick foley who lost his ear in germany in a barbed wire match. Also it has been useful for research as they are all in one place - an inportant article - please keep —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.72.162.199 (talk • contribs) .
Keep, list provides information that isn't in the category, such as whether people also served as managers or referees. Also, the list associates wrestlers with their stage names, while a category only allows you to see the name of the article. The users who claim that this list adds nothing are incorrect.

Keep, It can be salvaged and expanded like the WWE Alumni article and offer more information. - Bdve 21:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC) (this was originally me, forgot to sign)[reply]
Strong Keep, lists and categories are two seperate things. Lists allow you to have wrestlers that aren't notable enought to warrent an article. TJ Spyke 01:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. It's a resourceful piece of information. I use it all the time for my EWR game. Shouldn't have really been up for deletion in the first place. Normy132 02:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - apart from the information about what capacity the people served in, it's pretty much a reiteration of the information in the category. It does look like useful stuff though. --Jtalledo (talk) 10:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
