Prod removed without fixing the problem which is the lack of notability This is a non notable tag team which has only be together for 32 days without tag team championship match nor have the won a tag team championship. Dch eagle | ^{Join the Fight!} 01:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:GNG. Qworty (talk) 08:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I'm generally for keeping articles these days, but I have to admit it fails WP:GNG since there has been no significant coverage in secondary sources. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a stable, that just formed and notability is being established on a week by week basis. KingMorpheus (talk) 14:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability has to be established before a page is created not during or after the page has been created.--Dch eagle | ^{Join the Fight!} 02:43, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This stable does not satisfy WP:N. For now, redirect to Heath Slater since he is the "leader". --Truco ⁵⁰³ 15:09, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename I think the team's notable enough, but the term "3MB" was only used in 1 episode and 1 corresponding WWE article. This team has been called "The Band" for several episodes and in several WWE.com articles so I think that that name is better. Ranze (talk) 21:38, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete there is not enough coverage yet for an article and the info can easily be covered in the article for the 3 members at this point in time. I also disagree that the article should be moved to the band since 3MB has been used on both Raw and SmackDown indicating that is the name they are currently using. To summarize, I don't think we need this article but if it is kept it should maintain the current title.--174.93.171.10 (talk) 05:33, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I note that so far there are just two contributors who argue for "keep". Both of them simply state that the subject is notable (or, worse, that notability "is being established") without giving any reason for that opinion. Neither of them makes any attempt to relate their personal opinion that "it's notable" to the existence of sources, nor gives any other reason for their opinion.

Delete. Per Generally acceptable standards for pro wrestling, fails WP:ENTERTAINER - recently-established team of "heels" with no history of influence/notability. Also, article's references (all of which emanate from the WWE) fail the reliable source standard of being independent of the subject. Shearonink (talk) 16:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Has no reliable secondary sources whatsoever. Fails WP:GNG. Cyan Gardevoir ^{(used EDIT!)} 07:40, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
