This article is badly in need of an update

It states he's most commonly known as Nigel McGuinness - which obviously isn't the case anymore. Desmond Wolfe is shown to an international audience of millions every week, I think it's safe to say he's more known for his time in TNA now. And that picture is very out of date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.53.203 (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Although the picture is now up to date, WP:COMMONNAME surely qualifies a move to "Desmond Wolfe" with a redirect at "Nigel McGuinness". He is far better known under his TNA name rather his indy one. The Madras (talk) 19:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Move?

The result of the move request was: page moved. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 22:34, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Nigel McGuinness → Desmond Wolfe — He is far better now as Desmond Wolfe on TNA every week, rather than indy wrestler Nigel McGuinness. The Madras (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:Commonname, the article should stay at its current location.--WillC 21:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

How so? He is far better known as Desmond Wolfe, being on TNA programming, rather than by his indy name. Google has 55,200 searches for Nigel McGuinness and 925,000 searches for Desmond Wolfe. The Madras (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Well first since he has appeared in several countries as Nigel and already worked a few matches in TNA as Nigel years ago. His work in ROH was broadcasted on national television where he won two major titles and headlined for the company. At this time he is about equal.--WillC 05:27, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

With respect I disagree. TNA is far bigger than ROH, even when Nigel headlined for ROH. The Google hits also show far more recognition for Desmond Wolfe rather than Nigel McGuinness.The Madras (talk) 10:20, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

It seems we are at a stalemate. Bring this up at WT:PW to get a wider view so a consensus can be determined.--WillC 05:21, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Support, already more Google hits for Wolfe, and since that's his current name, the gap is only going to get wider.--Kotniski (talk) 10:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

• See WT:PW, it appears project decision is clearly against a move.--WillC 20:57, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't see what you mean. All I can find on that page are a few comments saying they disagree, but no reasons or arguments, so that doesn't mean anything.--Kotniski (talk) 09:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Place of Birth

I just noticed that the article says that he was born in Kent. All well and good except they've then gone on to say England, UK. To me at first glance that would suggest he's from a town called Kent which would confuse those who don't know that Kent is a county. I have found a copy of an interview with him that says he's from Staplehurst however it's pretty much a cut-and-paste onto a forum which we can't use it as a source however it does mention that it's from Power Slam magazine and what looks like the May or June 2007 issue which we could use to source it. I don't have a copy and therefore I don't know the ISSN number, does someone know it then I might be able to knock up a reasonable source template to use to allow us to show where he is from (although if someone has a copy with the exact details, that's even better).

I've added some sources that indicate that while he grew up in Staplehurst, he was actually born in London.TheFBH (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't want to nit-pick but is that a kafaybe magazine? The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 17:06, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Slam Sports? No. Professional wrestling portal's style guide names it one of the most reliable sources.TheFBH (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
