• Keep - it's just as notable as the other drafts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:5644:600:493d:307c:1b46:d0a1 (talk) 02:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, you might as well delete 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 (featured article), 2009 (featured article), 2010 (featured article), and 2011 WWE draft. JC · Talk · Contributions 02:16, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Significant coverage (including Forbes, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, ESPN, etc.), arguably more than any previous draft. Bmf 051 (talk) 02:23, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Biggest coverage of any draft, you would have to delete all the other drafts that came before. My personal opinion the Article should have never been up for deletion. On a more humorous note, the links at the top of this AFD for searching shows more than enough sources and coverage to show notability.

• Keep Failure to perform WP:BEFORE. oknazevad (talk) 02:32, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As per User:Oknazevad. This page represents a notable event particularly with the amount of press and news coverage that it has received from various media outlets, least of which was ESPN, Bleacher Report, CBS News and others. This page should NOT have been listed as a AFD. retched (talk) 02:37, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• SNOW Keep per above. TrueCRaysball | ^#RaysUp 03:04, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There was no reason for this page to even be considered for deletion as this had been talked for months. Plus WWE now has a link for the final selections so there was no reason for this to be considered for deletion. Nhajivandi (talk) 03:23, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
