Chris Pendleton

Vanity page, not notable per my google searches, although I don't know what good wrestling pages to check, I might be missing something.Gmaxwell 04:41, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• It is no way a vanity page. The 2005 Division I NCAA Wrestling championships just completed and I made stubs for all the champions. The Division I championships are one of the pinnacles of amateur wrestling in the US, only topped in notoriety by the Olympics. Over 90,000 people attended the 6 collegiate sessions in St. Louis, and this was the 75th anniversity of the NCAA championships. Links about the recent NCAAs, all of which mentioning Pendleton's title:

• • Official NCAA site
  • espn.com article
  • CNN Sports Illustrated
  • Offical site of USA Wrestling
  • The Wrestling Mall, a top site
  • Official Oklahoma State Site

If you need more sites/links, I'd be glad to provide them. Gantry 05:17, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I looked up a few of those links and tried posting them here before you, but apparently you beat me to it, so i lost what i had typed. Basically, i say that this artical stays. Not everything piece information/fact about people on this site is from online. If you can't find it on google, it doesn't mean that this should not be a page. He won NCAA D1 championships this year for his weight class, he has a right to be here. Gantry posted some good links for him. Here is a bio on him. --ZeWrestler 5:43 22 March 2005

• Merge NCAA wrestling champs into one article, perhaps 2005 NCAA Division I wrestling champions. If the individual subjects achieve notability outside of this context, individual articles can be spun off for them. android↔talk 14:06, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Concur with Android, merge. Radiant_* 14:55, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Personally, I don't think a merge should be done. I think each one has had achievements of their own notabability already. Just the information about this notability needs to be found and written about. That is why their artical is a stub. --ZeWrestler 15:24 March 2005
• Merge as suggested by Android. Break out to individual articles only where individual has "notabability" established beyond "one year's champion in his weight class". Barno 15:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and break out when more than a sentence or two of non-filler-material can be written about him. —Korath (Talk) 16:16, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as suggested above. Megan1967 06:35, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
