A one-time insult, not a notable nickname. LM2000 (talk) 22:26, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ranze, a redirect needn't pass WP:GNG but it also can't be so obscure that nobody would ever go searching for it. This falls under deletion rational #8:If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful. It's remarkably obscure, this one-time nickname isn't notable enough for somebody to type into their search bar. It's useless.LM2000 (talk) 03:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    "so obscure that nobody would ever go searching for it" doesn't apply to many of the things you have nominated. People do go searching for Cryback/Rybotch, for example. It even applies here. Someone reading this January 2014 tweet for example, would have no idea who the name is referring to. It's already one step of research to find out that the man who said it is Tyler Breeze, and even steeper research to find out that Tyler Breeze said that about Adrian Neville in their feud. We save a lot of time for people by simply redirecting it to the wrestler whom the phrase refers to. You're basically making declarations here you can't support. Any unique phrase used by a wrestler is something people are likely to be curious about. This isn't just something some fan called Neville, it's something Tyler called him on live TV, TV that thousands of people watch, so of course people will type in the name, we already can see they did that.

  • So anything unverified accounts write on twitter qualifies as a redirect now? If I call Hillary Clinton "Grandma Crazy" would that qualify as a redirect if I sent it out in a tweet? You have a list of reliable professional wrestling sources linked to the top of your talk page. You know better than this.LM2000 (talk) 04:45, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    LM, wrestling is something often viewed in clips, people take bathroom breaks and stuff, or view clips on YouTube. They do not always provide context about a comment. A redirect helps provide that context. Before I made TMTMNFTMG on 11 December 2015 I also provided a reference supporting it on 28 November 2015: special:diff/692741000 where you can see it is used at a video added 28 January 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sagGAKuuSBM&t=2m although based on http://unique-opportunity.tumblr.com/post/73594338454/the-man-that-mother-nature-forgot-to-make-good the promo must have preceeded 17 January 2014. Someone only catching the last part of that exchange would not know who Breeze was criticizing as he monologued with the camera zoomed in on his face.

  • Redirects that are pejorative or insults, however can, and have, been deleted via WP:CSD#G10 ("pages that serve no other purpose ... than to disparage their subject"). Unless they're very notable and covered in multiple high quality sources, that will probably be their fate. Black Kite (talk) 09:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dawn of the Altitude Era

Implausible redirect, per consensus at Unicorn Freaks, Iron Man of the WWE, and Madame McMahon, nicknames used once are not useful redirects. LM2000 (talk) 22:23, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LM2000: consensus at the other redirects you mention is entirely irrelevant to this. This is not 'used once' it is a slogan he has pushed to sell merch and which his fans push by wearing the merch. Yet again I really doubt you looked into this and are just making malicious assumptions about anything I make you don't immediately recognize.

Pre/War/Crash/Angus/JTP this is not a WP:POLL it is "for discussion" so if you're just going to "per nom" please go away.

HHH Pedrigree this is a slogan associated with Neville through official WWE merchanise, see http://shop.wwe.com/neville-altitude-era-authentic-t-shirt/W09608.html how could you possibly argue this isn't notable?

Admins, please note that none of the 10 WP:RDELETE reasons are given here, while the WP:RKEEP reasons 3 and 5 defend this redirect's existence. Reviewing administrators: please recognize that only actual discussions form a consensus, not polling/voting, and look at more than just the numbers here. Ranze (talk) 04:26, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's a thread on ANI on your behavior because you keep doing the same things again and again. I knew this was on a shirt when I nominated it for discussion, it falls under deletion rational #8:If the redirect is a novel or very obscure synonym for an article name, it is unlikely to be useful. LM2000 (talk) 04:40, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The thread YOU made, yes. I'm well aware of your canvassing everywhere possible to try and get people to gang up on me. No, this doesn't fall under number 8. A mass-produced slogan associated with the wrestler is not "very obsure". Here's some more help:
As you can see at http://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2015/05/Screenshot-5_24_2015-11_23_19-PM.png the name Neville only occurs in tiny print on the bottom of the left sleeve. Anyone viewing a fan wearing this from the back/front/right would not be able to see it. The "Dawn of the Altitude Era" slogan is very visible on the back though, so the redirect helps someone looking for that slogan get bounced right to the person the shirt is for.

Not a plausible redirect, not a real nickname. LM2000 (talk) 22:18, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I won't contest this. The guy has been called Big Ryck and Big Zeke so I figured noting Ezekiel begins with E the same way Ettore was is harmless. I did find some other people calling him this but probably not enough to convince you. It's not as notable a nickname as the others which I am trying to defend, even though I still maintain it is a harmless redirect to keep. Ranze (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not plausible redirects, not real nicknames. LM2000 (talk) 22:11, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom, sounds like a one time insult.Chris "WarMachineWildThing" Talk to me 22:41, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LM2000: I get the impression that you don't spend much (any?) effort looking for sources before taking it upon yourself on your mission to dig through my edits and try to demonize them. You begin with falsehood, saying that this is not plausible (wrong, both are things Ryback has beein recurringly called) and that they are not real nicknames (also false).

Crash_Underride and HHH Pedrigree are non-neutral parties who have had past disagreements with me so I would encourage any overseeing administrators to discount their support of these falsehoods. JTP and other "per nom" folk who blindly support this falsehood, I would remind you that RFD is not a vote, you are supposed to actually discuss policy and do your own analysis. All 4 of you are now posting incorrect things.

@AngusWOOF: thank you for honestly acknowledging that Cryback is a meme. "Traction" is a relative concept I won't quibble about, but I disagree about it being 'short-lived' considering there is still discussion of it by fans and activity in the hashtag in the present year.

We might dispute on whether they are notable enough nicknames to list on his article, but redirects have a lower burden of proof for notability than something you'd list on a page. Plausibly typos, for example, are made into redirects, but not actually mentioned on the article.

I would remind overseeing editors who might want to embrace this so-called "consensus" (it is not, I detract)

Beginning with the most notable, #Cryback is quite popular, and people still talk about on Reddit and while it did originate as an insult from Jericho used 28 June 2013, it took root and influenced articles about him:

Rybotch similarly has coverage to this day in fan discussion. Angus I'm not sure what search engine you're using to get Robotech typos, but if you Google Rybotch it's all wrestler-related I see on the first page. This nickname has stuck with him since 2012, and recurs every year since then until even now. Is it a notable enough nickname to mention on his page? That's a separate discussion. It doesn't need to be for it to be verified as a nickname associated with him to redirect to his page.

Aside from the podcast, you can see fans calling him this in comments on 5 pages worth of articles. Writers may be hesitant to say that openly out of respect or not wanting to burn bridges or future interviews. Ranze (talk) 02:57, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ranze, you have the list of reliable wrestling sources plastered at the top of your talk page, yet you share random twitter feeds, reddit, unverified youtube videos, and dirtsheets. I know you know better than this yet you keep making the same mistakes. This is why you've been in conflict with so many in the professional wrestling wikiproject and this is why you'll likely be topic banned from there someday.LM2000 (talk) 03:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LM I notice you conveniently sneak the more notable nickname Cryback under Rybotch's entry. You want a verified YouTube video? Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHfakJwfuUE&t=1m15s Are you going to call THIS tweet "random" too? https://twitter.com/iamjericho/status/351886641301946370 Do you need more than the official YouTube channel of the WWE and the official Twitter account of Chris Jericho to convince you of the worthwhileness of Cryback? Ranze (talk) 05:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more to consider:

It is a recurring nickname repeated multiple times on 2 different programs, reported on in the news. I'd question if the nicknames that LM doesn't object to are this well-supported. Ranze (talk) 07:22, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
