This one might be a little controversial, but that's what AfD is for. I am a firm believer that not every WWE tag team should have its own Wikipedia page. Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks are a fine example of a tag team which had longevity (11 months), but didn't accomplish anything of note. Their crowning moment was probably a backstage segment at WrestleMania. They were mostly booked at the bottom of the undercard and rarely had a feud. Their very few exposure was on NXT Redemption where they had one or two feuds which didn't really amount to anything.

My point is, there's nothing in this article that isn't talked about in both Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks' individual articles. And with Rek's retirement, it doesn't seem like they will be adding anything anytime soon.

There's also the fact that this article has way too many week-by-week results of trivial developments in minor feuds which aren't very encyclopedic. This level of detail matters to very little people and shouldn't be in every article. If we cleaned it up, the article will probably end up a stub anyway.

It's time we make a precedent that not every tag team needs an article. Hawkins and Reks' deletion should be an example for others to follow. Feedback ^☎ 22:46, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No notable as a tag team. No championships, no feuds. --2.136.171.116 (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete If points were given for effort to get the team over, this would be a speedy keep because they tried. But that's not what this is about. BerleT (talk) 04:01, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins. Therefore, shouldn't this technically be a second nomination? The article's talk page refers to that AFD. I really haven't been paying attention to understand when/why the article was renamed or if any special circumstances were involved. RadioKAOS  – Talk to me, Billy 20:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know it was nominated before. After the AFD closes, we can move both AFD pages to their corresponding names. Feedback ^☎ 22:32, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
