The content added by anon already existsw at the blue panther. I see no reason to remove the article about the wrestler.Dlohcierekim 12:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page was CREATED for BLUE PANTHER the artist and then DELETED by someone who keeps adding the wrestler in its place. This profile was created FIRST and should be respected as such. A whole marketing team has this page monitored and will revert it to the artist's profile whenever needed. Please RESPECT that. If the wrestler was added first, then we would have respected that. Now respect us. If you you change it back, you will only be wasting your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Far2steep (talk • contribs) 22:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The fourteen articles that link to this page refer only to the wrestler, which is more (twice, in fact) than the number that link to the article about the artist. With that information, it makes sense that the wrestler's bio be on this page instead of it serving as a redirect (or duplicate) for a page with no relevant article links. Continuing to revert it to the artist is illogical. I put the disambiguation notice at the top and the page and that is more than sufficient.--Darren Jowalsen 05:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We can play the article link game too but this is an issue of respect. Why wait until we add our artist's bio to decide to add yours. Deleting someone's profile to add your own is very disturbing. We are commissioned by Sony records and Solange Films to add this as you are being loyal to your wrestling commission to your thing. We can make this a legal issue if need be and we have our history records to prove it. We will keep changing it and changing it forever long need be. The artist's name IS Blue Panther NOT The Blue Panther, alot of fans know her as such and for some reason people put THE beforehead hence we added a forwarding url to THE BLUE PANTHER. We will keep removing yours. You want to play a game. Lets play it. We enjoy playing with kids. We do not tolerate online vandlaism.

Please remember, there are to be no personal attacks and no legal threats on Wikipedia and please consider the second and third provisions in this section. I was in the process of making the article when I discovered it had become a redirect to another page. All the pages that linked to "Blue Panther" referred specifically to the wrestler, so I wanted to get rid of any confusion that may have occurred when someone clicked on "Blue Panther" in a lucha libre article and it went to a page about a music producer. If someone goes to "Blue Panther" and wants to read about the artist, the disambiguation notice at the top of the page will take them there. It's common practice and a perfectly logical in these circumstances when a simple article changes the nature of the person greatly but a full disambiguation page is not neccessary.--Darren Jowalsen 16:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, perhaps a full disambiguation page is in order. "The Blue Panther" will redirect to "Blue Panther" and "Blue Panther" will say:

"Blue Panther may refer to:

• Blue Panther (music producer) (or whatever title you can come up with that best suits Ms. Kassem's talents)
• Blue Panther (wrestler)

Thoughts?--Darren Jowalsen 05:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make things clear, the article about Suzie Kassem, also known as Blue Panther, was deleted in an AFD discussion for being non-notable (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Blue Panther and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Blue Panther (second nomination). The user blanking the page appears to be a member of the self-proclaimed advertisement team who is unhappy with this, but there is process at deletion review to contest the deletion.

I have been asked to take a look over this article and try and come to a resolution. I have looked through the history and offer the following.

• 68.167.236.251 - The comments you have made above suggest that you are attempting to add your article for commercial reasons, which is not permissable on wikipedia. Please view WP:DP for our deletion policy
• 68.167.236.251 - You have made legal threats, which are not permissable. Please see WP:NLT
• The article on the band has been through two deletion processes, and been deleted both times. Material may not be recreated after deletion, and if it is, is considered vandalism, which may result in a block to the editor.

The war over the content of this page has been going for too long, and it must now stop. There is clear community consensus as to what should be on this page - that is an article about the wrestler. If you still do not agree with this please discuss it civily on this page. Any further vandalism to the article will result in your address being blocked from editing wikipedia. Kcordina ^Talk 11:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the continuing blanking of this article over a number of days by a range of IP addresses, this article has now been semi-protected. That means that it can not be edited by IP addresses or new users. Kcordina ^Talk 08:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was just accused of having erased (vandalized) the Blue Panther article; I had NO IDEA who Blue Panther was before I received the message. I had never even read his Wikipedia space before. Maybe the IPs were mixed up somehow, as there is no one else at home who could have done this.

I'll review this. ceranthor 19:26, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

• "Vázquez two oldest sons" - missing an 's?
• "Vázquez two oldest sons are also professional wrestlers, working for CMLL, with both Blue Panther Jr. and Black Panther making their CMLL debut in late 2013" - I assume these are his sons, but you don't state that explicitly. This sentence needs to be reworded. Also "working for CMLL" doesn't need to be offset by commas
• " in ring debut" - elsewhere you've used "in-ring"; which is it?
• "He was the first CMLL World Middleweight Champion as well as having won the Mexican National Middleweight Championship twice, the CMLL World Trios Championship twice and the Mexican National Trios Championship." - Rather than "as well as having won," which is wordy, what about "and has won" - less words, reads better, says the same thing
• "He won the 1999 Torneo Gran Alternativa, and the 2000 Leyenda de Plata tournaments." - I'd add "also" before "won" here; get rid of the comma, as you don't need it
• "In his career, he's" - no contractions; see MOS:CONTRACTION; also I'd restate Blue Panther or Vásquez here rather than "he" since it's a new paragraph
• "Vázquez his own gym in the early 1990s," - word missing

Professional wrestling career

• "in ring skills" - same note as above; is "in ring" hyphenated or not?
• "given several opportunities to show off his in ring skills and rise up the ranks" - "rise up the ranks" is an idiom and might not read easily for non-native-English speakers
• "His first reign lasted 190 days, ended by El Solar on May 25, 1987." - need to add "and was" between days and ended, otherwise this is a fragment
• "On September 18, 1988, Blue Panther's second, and final," - don't really need the commas
• "Although Blue Panther was unsuccessful in his August title challenge, the feud established him as a top rudo in EMLL[c] " - missing punctuation
• "CMLL branded championships" - "CMLL-branded"
• "which under Lucha Libre rules caused him to be disqualified and thus losing the match" - should be "lose" the match, not "losing"
• "then CMLL-booker" - I think "then" should also be hyphenated here
• "and would proceed to hold the title for 665 days" - I'd cut out "would proceed to hold" and just make it "and held the title..."
• "His second reign lasted a total of 609 days," - wait, but when was his second reign?
• "before Pather" - typo I think
• "In 1998, Panther teamed with Dr. Wagner Jr. and his real-life nephew Black Warrior to form "Los Laguneros."" - confused; earlier you kept punctuation outside of quotation marks but here you included it within; pick a punctuation style and use it throughout!
• "Fuerza Guerrera replaced Black Warrior on the team and they won another tournament for the CMLL World Trios title but they reigned for only three months before dropping the titles to Black Warrior, Atlantis, and Mr. Niebla." - run-on; need one or two commas here
• Why keep using "Martinete" as opposed to piledriver?
• "a tag team tournament teaming up wrestlers who would never team up otherwise." - wordy

Professional wrestling trainer

• Seems fine. Perhaps a bit short.

Professional wrestling style

• "The "Nudo Lagunero" is a Standing figure-four leglock" - why capitalize Standing?
• "first wraps a prone opponents legs" - missing an apostrophe in opponents

Personal life

• "A third son, birth date unknown," - I'd add a bit - how about "whose birth date is unknown"
• "He is the uncle of Jesus Toral Lopez" - Blue Panther? You just say he so it's unclear!
• "Vázquez owns and operates his own Chiropractic clinic" - no need to capitalize chiropractic

Footnotes

• Some have periods at the end; others don't - be consistent
• Since the other footnotes start out capitalized, footnote H should be as well

• It appears that none of the "30 Año 2008" references are actually linking to the source. I see "Harv error: link from CITEREF30_Año2008 doesn't point to any citation." for all of them.

• I will figure this out.

• What makes CageMatch reliable?

• listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Sources as reliable for results, which it is used for

• What makes Estrellas del Ring reliable?

• Has a staff of regular editors, have posted error corrections over the years.

• What makes ESTO reliable?

• It is a Mexican print/online magazine with an established editorial process

• What makes The Gladiatores reliable?

• It is a Mexican online publisher that covers various "fighting events", has an established editorial process

• For ref 46, is it supposed to say "publisher" after "HarperCollins"?
• What makes ProWrestlingHistory.com reliable?

• It is used to source uncontentious results, but probably does not pass the "Reliable Sources" criteria.

• What makes Lucha 2000 reliable?

• It is a Mexican print magazine with an established editorial process

• What makes Canoe.com reliable?

• Listed under PW Sources as "Slam! wrestling"

• What makes Wrestling Data reliable?

• Each region have multiple editors that double check all submissions against multiple sources, only publish if verified independently (I actually e-mailed them a long time ago to figure that out.)

• MEXICO shouldn't be capitalized in ref 6.
• why are most titles translated to Spanish, but not all (ie. ref 8, ref 41, etc.)
• Is there a typo in the title for ref 5 - "Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 – 1998 56) Blue Panther"."?
• Same with ref 45 - "Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 – 2008: 313 Blue Panther"."?
• What makes Wrestleview reliable?

• Listed on the PW Reliable Sources list.

• I have a few answers, will work on the corrections now. Thank you for all the feedback so far. MPJ-DK (talk) 22:13, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• File:CMLL November 30 Blue Panther and Mascara Ano 2000.jpg - checks out
• File:Blue-Panther.jpg - seems to check out
• File:CMLL November 30 Atlantis Blue Panther and Rayo de Jalisco Jr.jpg - checks out
• File:Blue Panther Jr.jpg - checks out
• For the latter two images, you use a period at the end of the caption, but you don't for the first two. It should be consistent throughout

Prose comments forthcoming. ceranthor 00:43, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have addressed all points raised so far. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:46, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MPJ-DK: "Rise up the ranks" is still there. Harvard error is still present. Can you replace the prowrestlinghistory info with a more reliable source? Otherwise, this looks good. ceranthor 13:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrote the "rise up the ranks" and got a better link, I'm still working on the link error. MPJ-DK (talk) 01:52, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Ceranthor finally figured out the citation problem. That should be the last of the unresolved issues. MPJ-DK (talk) 18:10, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
