Deletion of Christopher Rombola

Comment: You keep repeating that because OVW had a long-term business deal with WWE, the promotion is not a "real" wrestling promotion and thus those who have competed in the promotion are not notable. However, I think you're misinterpreting the term "professional league". This as a sports entertainment company, not an athletic organization. The company itself is a notable promotion on the independent circuit as are many of its former and current wrestlers. The sources provided, which pass  and , support the claim that he was a notable competitor in the promotion. By the way, I ''have'' made frequent edits to Wikipedia (including AFD discussions) and I think my opinion is as valid as anyone else's. Since I was offering comment rather then casting a vote, was it really necessary add the above tag ? Special:Contributions/72.74.207.201|72.74.207.201

Comment: I'm not a wrestling fan but Ohio Valley Wrestling appears to be a legitimate independent wrestling promotion. I don't think you can really compare the company to a minor league or a farm team and, sorry if I offend, but its probably not accurate to classify professional wrestling as a "sport" and subject to . The main argument from the only other person to vote was specifically that the sources ''"are primary, trivial, or not reputable"'' and would imply that the problem is the sourcing.

Comment: Thing is, both CM Punk and Shelton Benjamin have both gone fully-pro, and thus meet  regardless of the sourcing. The problem with Rombola is that, since he doesn't meet  we have to ''prove'' notability via |reliable, third-party sources. &mdash

Comment: Maybe I'm mistaken, but my understanding is that OVW was at the time Rombola participated a developmental league. My understanding is that a developmental league is similar to minor leagues; not every player in a minor league is notable. There may be notable players in those leagues, but they have to meet  on their own. As to your participation in AfDs, the tag was entirely accurate; looking at Special:Contributions/{{ucfirst:72.74.207.201}}|{{ucfirst:72.74.207.201}} you have only commented on this AfD. &mdash

Comment: At the time when Rombola was with OVW, it was still a developmental territory of the WWE, thus not "fully" professional, and if  doesn't apply, then the ''only'' notability guideline here is , which the article also does not meet. &mdash
