Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko[edit]

All relevant information is located in other articles. Their ECW tenure is covered in Triple Threat, their WCW in Four Horsemen, and their WWF in The Radicalz. Nenog 07:08, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom. Nikki311 04:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep unlike Michaels & Cena or Nitro & Dykstra these two guys have teamed up for years, yes off and on but they've held both ECW and WCW gold and achieved a lot as a team, the current content in the article could be greatly expanded giving the readers the opportunity to get a full picture of the team in one place instead of havign to read 3 stable articles and 2 individual articles.

- Conditional Delete I suggest the article be deleted. If someone can come up with reliable secondary sources to meet WP:V and WP:RS that suggest this article is needed (even though all the info this article could contain would be included in the three article mentioned above by Nenog, then I would consider changing my vote. - T-75|talk|contribs 23:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment remove the unsourced material, even if it leaves it as a stub instead of deleting it. That way we leave a place for people to slowly begin to source the article instead of having to start over from scratch MPJ-DK 08:13, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment It's not just about having one source, it's about having sources that are considered WP:RS that meet the criteria of proving WP:V. If that one source now listed did that, then I'd be thrilled (it would make our lives a whole lot easier in the pro-wrestling project). What would be even harder with this article though, is to find a WP:RS that meets WP:V that shows that this article needs to exist, and not an article about the Triple Threat, The Four Horsemen and The Radicalz. - T-75|talk|contribs 18:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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

Merge to the both of the articles Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko --JForget 17:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even were the article to be a detailed and well-written one meeting the standards of Encyclopaedia Brittanica (and this is NOT a commentary on the writing style here), the entity itself would be better covered under the individual wrestlers' articles. Promotions may or may not even consider it as the same 'entity' across each other (although the three involved are now owned by one company, at the time they were less than cordial with each others' talent and lineages, if memory serves).

Delete per nom, their careers are well documented in their own articles. This just encourages the creation of non-notable tag team articles. Not only do they have an article each, but three other articles about their tag team careers, does a sixth article seem needed? Darrenhusted 13:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, my vote is the same as last time. Nikki311 13:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
