The result was keep. A close call this one, but having looked at the article I'm convinced that (1) there are sufficient independent sources and (2) the event itself is of sufficient notability as it had an attributable effect on the fortunes of one (what appears to be) one of Americas biggest wrestling franchises. There's still a lot of room for improvement, but I'm satisfied that notability is established (more through WP:IAR than WP:N though) Waggers ( talk) 07:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Strong Delete. Okay, I gave it 6 months to improve, but this needs to go. Article is of deceiving importance and does not meet WP:V. Sources provided in the article have little to no relevance to the topic. These sources violate WP:RS as they are opinion columns from a wrestling websites (LordsofPain.net itself being WP:QS per talk on WP:PW). Fourth source is referencing the main event of the rival show ( WWE RAW). The Impact portion of the article is littered with statements that violate WP:OR & WP:ASF. Per the original AfD, I dispelled any notion that this single event was the cause of or even assisted in the downfall of WCW with this source. This source demonstrates that WCW's ratings increased for a month after the events took place. Kevin Nash (one of the two participants in the angle and as a side note, does not call this event the Fingerpoke of Doom) also debunks this myth in several shoot interviews (including this one [1]) by explaining Bill Goldberg's injury & CNN/Time Warner's merger was more at fault than any wrestling angle. And finally, and I think most importantly, Fingerpoke is not a word. Endless Dan 19:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC) reply
