- The Canadian NINJAS (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Per precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashley Lane and Nevaeh. They've only teamed together approximately six times, and all the relevant information is already located in the articles of the individual members. The team itself has not established notability independent of its members. Nikki♥311 19:23, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Rather than looking at the number of times they have teamed together, I believe the notability guidelines call on editors to check for sufficient mainstream media coverage. The team is discussed in decent detail here and are mentioned on several reliable websites as holders of the Shimmer Tag Team Championship. GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:, disagree. Just holding the Shimmer Tag Team Championship isn't enough to warrant a separate article for the team. Teams who have held more prominent titles (like WWE or TNA tag team titles) and teamed for longer periods of time have been deleted in the past. Most of the Google Hits are from unreliable sources, wrestling news sites, or are trivial mentions of them as the champions. Moreover, the SLAM article linked to is about Nicole Matthews, and the team is mentioned because it is a notable part of her career...but that doesn't make it notable in the history of professional wrestling and warrant a separate article. The mentions in the individual members articles are sufficient for now. If the team continues to team together or wins other championships, the article can be recreated at a later date.

- Comment: The linked site seems to be a reliable source, but it's not in the article. The article as it now stands violated BLP, if references were provided, that would make a difference. However, that source doesn't show up in a Google search, so it's understandable that it wasn't found. In addition, they only get one Google news hit, and only 169 Google hits, none of them apparently reliable. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 20:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - clearly not a notable tag team. Mad Dog Dunstan (talk) 11:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Delete Agree with the Gentleman about WP:BLP. Female tag teams outside of WWE and TNA just don't have the notability for whatever the reason. GetDumb 08:33, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Not notable. I disagree with GetDumb because female tag teams do not just have to be in TNA to be notable. There are a few female teams on the indy curcuit that are notable.--WillC 21:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Shimmer_Tag_Team_Championship#Title_history where they are mentioned. JJL (talk) 16:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
