I think that individual wrestlers should go into a /Wrestler/ namespace but that organization behind them (like WWE) and all that is properly for the recently-created /Creator/ namespace.
I agree that Power Stables should be lumped into /Wrestler/, but the Royal Rumble thing looks more like a single exhibition - not sure what that sort of events would go under.

Query: Where would wrestlers who are also known for their other media-related professions go?
Basically, people like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (Wrestler and Actor) and Chris Jericho (Wrestler and the Face Of The Band for Fozzy
.)

I don't know at all where events of any kind should go - perhaps make another Wiki Talk thread?
About this one, can we agree on wrestlers going into /Wrestler/ namespace?

Agreed. I'd go with which ever came first with the other as a redirect.

Agree on all 3 points: Promotions on /Creator/, events on another thread, and this one to a Single Prop crowner like /Creator/?

Events are mostly televised, so why not Live-Action TV?

That makes sense, but let's make a different thread for that. And the crowner needs hooking.
If we used Wrestling/ instead of Wrestler/ we could use the same namespace to cover wrestling events. I think I like Wrestling/ better for that reason.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Hi
That's a good idea, much more inclusive.
I like that idea, especially since it would include wrestling-related personalities who aren't wrestlers, like Vince Mcmahon, Jim Ross, and Joey Styles.

I'd agree with that, but WWE and these organizations behind should go to /Creator/ still.
Moreover, the crowner just talks about /Wrestler/. Get a new crowner?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanA multi-prop crowner would probably be better, yes.
I was thinking less about the creators and more about the events. Wrestle Mania, Summer Slam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series want namespaces too, after all.

Lost in Space
I would say yes. The Rock is a wrestling persona. Dwayne Johnson is an actor who happens to also play The Rock.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I think this is sufficient consensus. Adding Wrestling/ to the list of Media Namespaces.

Three wrestlers out there (as well as WWE) are now relocated to the Wrestling/ namespace. All three of the wrestlers relocated had some time ago been given the Wrestler/ namespace to clear up ambiguities.
I now go by Graf von Tirol.

El Santo is less about his wrestling career and more about his film career, in which he played a fictionalized version of himself. If we had a Character/ namespace, that's where he'd belong.
It could fit in the Film/ namespace since it's mostly about the films.
