Comment: I'll be that one person. Screw Google results and check out Newspapers.com. If anyone has access through the Wikipedia library - as I do - you can see a ton of press back in the 1970s. Being that he died in 1975, there will not be as much press about him in recent times. So, he meets  based on the press from Newspapers.com, there is http://www.tbo.com/news/wrestlers-recall-plane-crash-off-tampa-that-changed-their-careers-20150201/ this, and numerous books as well

Comment: Wow, I find myself in agreement with {{U|GaryColemanFan}}!  You need to enter this date in the annals of Great Wikipedia Milestones!  Ahem, anyway...yes, we're talking about someone whose notability revolves around a 2–3 year body of work in a particular U.S. state.  If you can't grasp that, then I don't know what to tell you.  He was on the verge of becoming a big star in professional wrestling at the time of his death.  A further explanation is hampered by the lack of appropriate context in the article, mainly in multiple strictly incidental mentions of a St. Louis connection.  If he was from St. Louis and his name was Schoenberger, I would figure that he was of relation to Joe Schoenberger, who worked as a referee for St. Louis wrestling promoter Sam Muchnick for decades.  If so, and he came into the business with ties to Muchnick, he was highly likely to have been Push (professional wrestling)|pushed to the moon in any case.  That's not , that's the way the business worked back then;  you kept family around because they were more likely to be loyal to you and do your bidding.  The push that promoter Nick Gulas gave to his son around this same time has often been cited as a contributing factor to the demise of his promotion.  Other factors figure in: the territorial nature of wrestling booking offices and promotions, the bias promoters and occasionally even fans had against local boys, and the fact that full-time wrestlers worked 300–350 matches per year, almost always in a different city or town every night.  Adding these up, he wouldn't have had much of a chance of making it in the business by working the undercard at Kiel Auditorium once every three weeks.  Like almost every wrestler who was successful back then, he hit the road, and Florida and Georgia were hotbeds of wrestling at the time.  Numerous sources, albeit mostly wrestling-centric, point to Championship Wrestling from Florida (where Shane established his rising star) as having set the standard for territorial-era wrestling promotions, and that promoter Eddie Graham had his hand in the operations of territories in other parts of the United States.  Many of these same sources point out that in the years before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started playing, wrestling was THE hot ticket in the Tampa Bay area.  WWE has on numerous occasions acknowledged the legacy of CWF, a promotion that the nominator appears to be dismissing as a "local yokel" operation.  So, putting the comment "winning some pro wrestling state titles" in proper perspective: state titles in professional wrestling at one time usually were controlled or supervised by state athletic commissions.  In modern times, however, these titles mostly existed to preserve the kayfabe illusion of some official sanction and oversight.  The state where I live, Alaska, had a state title, but it's unclear whether such sanction existed in its early history, Alaska being a territory at the time and not having an athletic commission until statehood.  Sandor Szabo (wrestler)|Sandor Szabo became a booker in Los Angeles and proceeded to book himself as the Alaska champion by touring the territory X number of times per year throughout the 1950s and into the early 1960s.  The title was infrequently resurrected over the decades by independent promotions drawing in the low hundreds.  Based on that, you can safely assume that this particular state title is non-notable.  You can't say the same thing about the NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship, which under Muchnick was a major championship in the world of professional wrestling.  Same with Florida and Georgia.  The holders of these titles were occasionally but not usually in main events, but they weren't wrestling twenty minutes in the opening match to warm up the crowd night after night, either.  A television championship may be a different story, as those wrestlers tended to work lower on the cards than other champions, but holding that championship also meant that they were featured by the promotion to some extent.  Finally, the plane crash which took his life has often been mentioned in the same context as the plane crash that same year involving Ric Flair and Johnny Valentine.  It makes sense, as the business was exploding in the mid 1970s, in spite of nearly non-existent mainstream exposure.  Some of the boys were making real money for the first time in their lives, and took to flying between dates, obviously because of the convenience factor over driving.  Other sources not mentioned in this discussion imply that Buddy Colt, the pilot, was very popular among his fellow wrestlers mainly because he had a pilot's license and a plane

Comment: The  PWHoF book provides one source with significant coverage, but my search didn't significant coverage in other sources since I don't believe the coverage of his death in a plane crash counts ().  The "deleting a dead man's article is very disrespectful" argument carries no weight in proving notability.  I haven't voted yet because I'm waiting to see if some other coverage can be provided to show he meets
