WORLD caliber championship. The following: "Although his first match was a unforgettable, shocker being that a 9 year old was wrestling with 30 year olds (and
Winning) Derek Allen achieved his wrestling fame through MANY other memorable matches..." Who says they are memorable? You? That is POV. The word shocker is a weasel word because there is no logic in wrestling for the most part. Dramatic Dream Team, a Japanese promotion has a title called the DDT Heavymetalweight Championship in which "a ten year old who could chokeslam adults" won it. That is not logical a ten year old child could do that. So that just reinforces that there is no logic in wrestling for the most part.

The following: "Many note Derek Allen OFFICIALLY to be the
Youngest Wrestler, and the Youngest Wrestling Champion BEFORE Randy Orton." That is strictly POV. Randy Orton is the youngest WWE or World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history. There is a difference. Plus Derek Allen never supposedly won a

You are making a mess of the article. It is in such a bad state and you have ignored the POV concerns as stated above and just left it there. You are not doing to anything to remedy the POV concerns and you have not done anything on the notability front. That one reference you put in the article
373:
You haven't provided anything outside of the one link to assert notability. A lot of wrestlers have appeared in skits and on TV shows with other wrestlers, that doesn't make them notable. If we went by your thinking, then we would have an article on every jobber and insignificant indy wrestler.
434:
Yet you are not providing references that any of this happened. We can't go off WP:BECAUSEISAIDSO. It doesn't work that way. Well, you obviously are not bothering to rectify any of the problems this article is facing and the big one being notability. If keeping this article is so important to
311:
Dream Focus, what links can you provide to assert that this event(s) are notable? A lot of wrestler have wrestled in front of 3,000 people, but that doesn't make them notable. Steve Corino's son wrestled when he was very young. But there isn't an article on him. So why this person? One event
676:
You can't rely on just one source or it is going to pose some notability issues. A varying array of independent sources whether online or hard copy is what you need to help assert notability. You don't seem to get the idea of sourcing or you would have provided five independent sources. Now I
457:
The news article mentions him wrestling. He is notable for being the youngest wrestler ever. There are even YouTube videos showing the events he has been in. Do you sincerely doubt the information in the article? I contacted the man last night, and asked him to provide information about what
827:
What evidence do you have that he was a professional athlete between the ages of 9 and 12 or thereabouts? He didn't compete at the highest level of his sport, so I presume that you have evidence that his matches qualify as "People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport". I
286:
That's "major" as in ... what? Number of spectators? Number of published reports? Long, developed competition one has to compete in to get to that stage? Was he truly a "pro wrestler" between ages 10 and 12, competing in, what, five (not really "many" either) matches in those years? This in a

623:
isn't enough. It's just a result archive on a promotions site and not even from an independent source. You don't seem to be taking this seriously and you need to edit this article heavily so it doesn't look you are doing it based on having a close connection with the subject.
336:
If you actually bothered to read the article you are trying to destroy, you'd see he has appeared on television shows notable to wrestlers, and been featured in skits with famous wrestlers. The Sun
Sentinel has published articles about him, such as one linked to in the article
1023:
YouTube shows these things actually did happen! Although yes, we do have news sources also. The Sun
Sentinel article linked to in the article itself, and Google news search reveals him in later fights, such as the article in Sacramento Bee - NewsBank - Jan 30, 2001
253:
He participated in many major matches. The fact that such events don't get any mainstream media coverage, doesn't make them less notable. Being the world's youngest Pro
Wrestler and the world's youngest champion in professional Wrestling, makes him notable.
1126:
One newspaper? Huge news = multiple newspapers. So where are they? The site in my opinion is rubbish. If those wrestlers (Lo-Ki, Hennig, even Danny Doring) had been there where's the coverage from other sites that covered wrestling at the time like PW Torch?
197:. One local source for a game where he "competed" as a gimmick could be found, but this is clearly insufficient for a Knowledge (XXG) article." The local source was an article in the South Florida Sun, also linked in the article. This is a clear case of
291:, where a crowd of 3,000 is "one of its biggest shows". Note that the one (local) article about Derek Allen is titled "THE ROAR OF A SMALL CROWD", which doesn't give the impression that we are truly talking about anything major here.
730:
The fact you are not willing to look for other sources show me that you are not willing to do it and or you did look and couldn't find anything. You are not doing anything to show me it's so important to keep this article.
969:
His official YouTube channel has video footage of all the events, so we can prove that they are in fact real. Also, why would a major promoter lie on their own website about past events? That makes no sense at all.

Why would I being trying to show you anything? You made up your mind already. I believe the evidence shows this person is clearly notable, and you do not. We'll see what everyone else has to say.

YouTube is a not good for sources. We need sources to news stories and articles. You keep refusing to do any of this. Why? It's because none such sources exist outside of that one.

I added in bits from the Future of
Wrestling website, he mentioned as performing at various events, and winning what is a notable award in Wrestling.

No assertion of notability can be assessed. Only thing found was links to videos on YouTube of him. YouTube is not the best source for references.

Absolutely no secondary sources apart from the one article. Looking at the results from the FOW website, I question many of them as real.
