Non-notable tag team. They have not done anything notable (at least yet), they have only teamed together twice in fact. They could possibly become notable in the future, but I don't think they are yet. TJ Spyke 21:20, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Absoulutly nothing notable about these 2 except they #1 contenders to the Unified Tag Team Championship which like Jeri-Show (who actually won the titles) doesn't qualify them as notable.--C23 C23's talk Help solve the WrestleMania 23 dispute 23:06, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Add-on I can actually name a lot of teams that won tag titles (or at least were a contender to them) that don't have there own pages. 1. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston 2. Rey Mysterio and Batista 3. Jeri-Show 4. Batista and John Cena 5. John Cena and Shawn Michaels 6. MVP and Mark Henry etc. must I go on. Thoses teams are just like these 2 un-notable besides winning or qualifying for tag titles.--C23 C23's talk Help solve the WrestleMania 23 dispute 23:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per TJ Spyke's assessment. The fact that the teams listed in Curtis's !vote makes this pairing even less notable. ArcAngel (talk) (review) 23:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly why should we have a page for a team that hasn't won the titles when we don't even have pages for teams who have won the titles.--C23 C23's talk Help solve the WrestleMania 23 dispute 23:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Is that even a tag-team name? The team has done nothing. Fails WP:N.--Truco ₅₀₃ 03:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Contains 0 notability. Afro (Not a Talk Page) ^{- Afkatk} 04:47, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete They have only tagged together twice that i know of and have not been in any major matches IE. Title matches.--Steam Iron 05:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• I gotta give a vote of Keep, though with heavy editing. It's not so much a tag team, but a kayfabe movement, what with the bringing down of audience members to shave their head and whatnot. It seems to be a major angle and is getting a serious focus on SmackDown. If it turns out to fall by the wayside and be nothing then the article could be removed later, but it's notable enough to keep for now. Some of the arguments presented here could be considered invalid. For instance, the listing of teams like Batista and Mysterio and Jeri-Show as not having articles. It could easily be argued that those teams should have an article as well, not that this shouldn't. Plus, arguing that they're not notable because they haven't won tag titles seems ridiculous to me. Professional wrestling is a scripted form of entertainment, no one "wins" any titles unless the booker says so. Not to mention, the current Tag Team Champions, D-Generation X, didn't win those titles until 12 years after they formed. Were they irrelevant for 12 years because of that? Also, one of the listed examples, MVP & Mark Henry, also never won tag titles either. So yes, I vote Keep for now, as the "Straight Edge Society" has current notability and shows potential for long-term notability. -Josh (talk) 16:26, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know that they didn't win the titles for 12 years what I mean is those teams I listed they are un-notable as they didn't do anything also I think all of those teams except John Cena and Shawn Michaels were deleted through AfD which is your point I think anyway. Also DX they were actually noteable they actually did things that would catch people's eyes this team all they have done is shave people's head and are #1 contenders to the titles.--C23 C23's talk Help solve the WrestleMania 23 dispute 21:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to add that DX have won the tag titles before. The New Age Outlaws won the titles multiple times while part of DX, this is just the first time that Triple H and Shawn Michaels have held the titles together. TJ Spyke 21:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yah heres it from the page:

• • WWF/E World Tag Team Championship (8 times, current)^[1] – New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) (4),^[2][3][4][5] X-Pac and Kane (2),^[6][7] John Cena and Shawn Michaels (1), Triple H and Shawn Michaels (1, current)^[8]
  • WWE Tag Team Championship (1 time, current)^[9] - Shawn Michaels and Triple H^[10]

So your DX argument is irrelevant. FYI i'm adding a reference section so you know i'm not lying.--C23 C23's talk Help solve the WrestleMania 23 dispute 21:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per all of the above. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:11, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete in it's current form talking about a tag team. If the article was switched to the kayfabe movement it could be salvagable, but it's too early to tell. Also - either way - there is no claim to notability. !! Justa Punk !! 10:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete this nonsensical wrestlecruft. Guy (Help!) 22:42, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete As a faction they may become relevant later but not now. Even if they were to win the straps next week the kibosh should be put on it; the group - two steady "members" such as it is - in in its infancy and has no official name or notability.Papacha (talk) 10:56, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
