Removed PROD

Perhaps, notability could be established and sources could be provided. He is mentioned in Wrestling Journal and is mentioned on pages

The are also many Google hits, the question is how much did the PROD nominee look around before PRODding - this should be explained if taken to AfD Power.corrupts (talk) 17:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As the one who prodded this article, I did two google searches. This one, most of the hits relate to a band called Rukkus, and the only one concerning a wrestler on the first page was this wikipedia article, so I redefined my search criteria, and got this. Most of these hits refer to Claude Marrow, who goes by the name "Ruckus", and the rest are unreliable. As an aside, I'm not sure the Wrestling journal qualifies as a reliable source. The third search I did, used his real name here, and doesn't turn up any reliable sources either. Hence I prodded. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why COI?

This (possibly non-notable) article refers to WP:COI but fails to identify any e.g. WP:NPOV violations... WP:WHYCOI? -- samj _in ^out 18:36, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There were some edits with "unencyclopedic" comments (see 5 Feb) comparing the talent of Rukkus, with those of another wrestler Ruckus. My reply was to put up the COI tag, based on a completely unproven suspicion of COI. The article has no evidence of COI, so I take the tag off now. It is a problem though, that the disambiguation link to Ruckus is being deleted repeatedly by an anon IP. To the anon IP: it is common practice in an encyclopedia to create links to other pages, if a misspelling could well have taken them here. Power.corrupts (talk) 02:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of this quickly. -- samj _in ^out 05:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
