Not notable. Unsuccessful, and much of the info is week-by-week results and moves. Only notablilty are the two separate subjects in the tag team. Sekyaw (talk) 15:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep a wrestler or a team does not actually have to win a championship to be considered notable. That's only one possible way to achieve notability. The team has received a consistent amount of ongoing coverage for most of the year, definitely a notable team. Ranze (talk) 01:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. While the article might leave great room for improvement, this team was the subject of a WWE storyline (the formation) that lasted for months and appeared on various shows, including pay-per-views. That many were bothered by the storyline and the resulting team basically amounts to a comedy act and hasn't and probably will not win any championships is beside the point.

@Str1977: Kingston and Truth were a more notable tag team the Golden Truth, holding the tag team titles about 140 days. Kingston and Truth were involved in various feuds, defending their titles, recovering ongoing coverage. But, Kingston and Truth don't have an article. Golden Truth on the other hand are simply not notable. Never won a title and rarely finds success. The team is very much comparable to The Social Outcasts. Sekyaw (talk) 06:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That such an article doesn't exist doesn't mean it shouldn't exist nor that this article shouldn't exisr. The existence of a team name, while not deciding in of itself, also gives the duo a more team-like feeling. Social Otcasts were not a team but a stable and again: the pros and cons of that case dp not determine this case. See WP:OTHER. Str1977 ^(talk) 19:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, as nom. Week-by-week updates are NOT "ongoing coverage" (WP:NOTNEWS). Breezango (now deleted) was in the exact same storyline that solidifed the two respective teams. Both are common; they rely on week-by-week updates, moves and themes, and are WP:TOOSOON and fail WP:GNG. In the words of Matt Hardy, this should be deleted. Sekyaw (talk) 02:20, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nomination - Non-notable. -- Dane2007 ^talk 21:16, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
