Merge to Starrcade. 2012's SmackDown Great American Bash has a section on WWE The Great American Bash and we've put TNA's televised special events (i.e. Destination X 2013-present) on their main articles as well. Since this house show fails WP:GNG, it should be merged as well.LM2000 (talk) 01:58, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I want to steer away from the PPV/Network event line of thought. Even if this were a full blown PPV it would be redirected to the main article until the event gets better coverage. This has been established in AfDs for previous PPVs such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Royal Rumble (2017).LM2000 (talk) 08:41, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep put it in the wwe network chronology permanent please Fmm134 (talk)

@Fmm134: Why? It's not a Network event. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 04:21, 19 September 2017 (UTC) It will be![reply]

This has no place being in the Network chronology. OldSkool01 (talk) 06:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is just a house show. No mention at all that this will air on the Network. It's taking place 6 days after Survivor Series, so it's very doubtful this will be a Network event. OldSkool01 (talk) 06:16, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep It's still being promoted as an important house show, like WWE Live from Madison Square Garden and The Beast in the East. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.7.53.212 (User talk:184.7.53.212) 06:47, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Those were WWE Network events. Do you have a source that says Starrcade will be one too? Either way, it's got to pass WP:GNG, which this one doesn't yet.LM2000 (talk) 08:26, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Starrcade - Not a PPV or an WWE Network event, just a house show. TheDeviantPro (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The event is called 'Starrcade' and I highly doubt WWE would bring that name back just to have it on a untelevised house show, more details will probably come when we get closer to the date so we should remove the match list for now as they are unofficial and subject to change.

- Everything you just said is speculation. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Nikki♥311 22:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: per above. So this is being promoted, as the keep proponents say? Not seeing reliable sources backing that up. We wouldn't keep this as an independent article if it was named "Joe Blow's Whackapalooza," so until there are sources for THIS event, we can't have an article on it.

Merge - to Starrcade. Doesn't meet WP:GNG at present. It might be important, but we won't know until after it happens. Nikki♥311 22:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - to Starrcade Untelevised house show. Too much speculation going on here about what it is, it's not it's own PPV now, it's just a ploy for the Greensboro area to pull numbers in the face of competing against WrestleCade which is on the same day nearby. If anything it should be a 'tidbit' on the Starrcade page and not be seen as anything that even resembles something close to what the original Starrcade is and was in importance. 6SyXx6 (talk) 02:29, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - to Starrcade, unless WWE confirms in the mean time that it will be a WWE Network exclusive event. Nickag989^talk 13:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
