- Keep - Professional career lasted at least 17 years, including a stint with the World Wrestling Federation (admittedly very brief); as noted in a reliable source, was inducted into a hall of fame (admittedly a small one). Notability is borderline but should be sufficient to pass WP:ATHLETE. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: No offense Gary, but you change you mind too much. Looking at WT:PW#Mark Vartanian, you pretty much said just to delete the article and now you want it kept. Dude, just make up your mind already on articles.--WillC 04:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Since then, I have found an article from SLAM! Wrestling confirming his induction in a professional wrestling hall of fame and learned that he had competed in the WWF. I figured it couldn't hurt to add a few references to give people commenting here a more realistic view of the situation. I would have preferred to see the article kept before (I have never made a secret of the fact that pursuing Wikipedia's "sum of all knowledge" goal by deleting content sounds strange to me), but I believe that the actually meets the notability guidelines now. As for changing my mind, I would hope that anyone would be open to changing their mind when presented with information that goes against their earlier beliefs.
