The result was delete. Being linked to from valid articles which happen to be referenced, having a possibility of expansion, and proof by assertion are all invalid reasons to demonstrate the subject's notability. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CORP or WP:ORG, whichever one prefers. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : Long time no see, Ms. Nikki the Iron Lady. As the creator of the article, I'm probably biased, but let me say, please keep. The article may not meet the CORP notability guideline, however, it currently has 20 backlinks from other valid articles, Charleston, West Virginia, Zach Gowen, Jerry Lynn, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, MsChif, Mad Man Pondo, Portia Perez, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South, Nate Webb, Jun Kasai, Smart Mark Video, Shiima Xion, Marvin Lambert, Mickie Knuckles, Ryuji Ito, Thumbtack Jack, Masters of Pain, J. C. Bailey, Frightmare (wrestler), and some of these articles have valid references. Plus I've found other sources, not about the promotion, but referring to the promotion, Dailymail, and on Moonsauld.de and IMDB. I'm not sure if these are legit, but I hope so. - The Wifechaser (talk) 04:45, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : it has a link to another language, which denote its relevance. Jeangabin (talk) 08:12, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS and Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Wikipedias in other languages. So? The article needs to denote its relevance per WP:CORP not what may or may not exist on Wikipedia. Nikki♥311 03:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not appear to satisfy the notability criteria at WP:ORG. --DAJF (talk) 08:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (or Merge). Many articles link here without transclusions. If impossible, this article had better be merged into Mad Man Pondo as one section (here is not an article of "Independent Wrestling Association", cf. de:IWA East-Coast), and make this a redirect page to that new section. --Akira Kouchiyama 17:58, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Definite potential for expansion, as the promotion is definitely notable. GaryColemanFan (talk) 07:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I am weak keeping this article because there is room for expansion. Stuff like current champions, roster, history of the promotion, and other items need to be added. Not all articles will be full of content right away because it takes time. Rome was not built in a day. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 01:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, the article needs to meet WP:CORP to be kept and nobody who has voted keep has proven how it does. Even the creator of the article admits that it doesn't (The article may not meet the CORP notability guideline...). Nikki♥311 19:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Absence of sources and none of the keep votes has put forward any policy based argument. Source it or lose it folks. Spartaz ^Humbug! 04:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
