Article is partially filled with nonsense, is a frequent vandalism target to the point that actual information is indiscernible from the garbage, and the original subject appears to fail WP:N and WP:V for having no reliable third-party references in the article.

- Delete If you're going to claim someone has been featured in the Sun or on the BBC, you better be ready to prove it. It is not my responsibility to investigate your claim. DarkAudit (talk) 01:48, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There are some Google news hits. I have not read them to determine whether they suffice to establish notability. Nothing that I saw from the Sun or BBC. Dlohcierekim 03:19, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Here is the BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/articles/2009/07/10/deaf_wrestler_feature.shtml Note that you can restrict a search on Google to a specific domain through the "site:" operator, so I searched on Google for
"Sean Midnight" site:bbc.co.ukand found this item. -- Eastmain (talk) 14:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply] - Delete The nonsense and vandalism are not relevant to the deletion discussion. Those are amenable to judicious editing and if need be page protection. However, I do not see that this subject, even with a the BBC article contents, meets notability guidelines. Deafness is not a criterion for notability, nor is professional wrestling. I do not see evidence in the article of sufficient achievement to meet notability requirements, nor did I find sufficient coverage by reliable, third party sources, in terms of breadth or depth.

- Comment The BBC has regional divisions covering local news in the UK, the article is from BBC Birmingham not the national news site (news.bbc.co.uk). Cassandra 73 (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Noted comment per Cassandra. Claim to notability is even weaker than it was. Dlohcierekim 22:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
