Article sourced, apart from an 'article' on Superluchas website, entirely to brief mentions in a variety of web sources. UEWA doesn't even appear to have its own web presence, so I seriously doubt it meets WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Whatever the reason for this, I have grave doubts this is a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article in its current form. Sionk ( talk) 21:00, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

- Subject's reach has included 25 promotions in eighteen countries, several of the promotions have been notable enough to have their own pages (for example All Star Wrestling).
- Majority of UEWA title holders have their own pages also, most notably Drew McIntyre. The European Heavyweight title is already featured on Wiki, but there is room to add the Cruiserweight title history to this page.
- Outside of governing body work, there's also collaborations in other notable promotions like Insane Championship Wrestling and All Wrestling Organization in Israel. There's also been multiple title-for-title matches for the ICW World Heavyweight Championship and the UEWA title.
- Article is sourced/referenced, very little primary UEWA source material used.
- Page also has value as a catch-all page for promotions which do not have an active wiki page or which only have a page in their native language (I.E Dansk Pro Wrestling). 73.205.220.195 ( talk) 22:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

- Unique and wide-reaching international wrestling company with titles defended in and outside of its network of promotions. Titles held by notable wrestlers and defended in notable promotions. Also notable for being
Lionheart's final match.

- There's nothing anywhere to say this organisation is "unique" and organisations do not inherit notability from their products (i.e. competitions and events they organise). Let's see some reliable news coverage (not fan sites or stats pages) that talk about UEWA in some depth. Sionk ( talk) 12:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. No evidence this passes NCORP.

- Delete. I went through the 69 sources in the article and tried to look for more online, and I couldn't come up with a single sentence about UEWA in reliable sources beyond "it's a European confederation of wrestling promotions". No significant coverage, fails WP:NCORP. Pilaz ( talk) 01:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete I explained to Suge that he is using unreliable sources, but doesn't listen. Many of the sources looks like just wrestling blogs. What's wrestling cover empire? Official WWE Amino? WrestlingCorner.de? Other sources are just WP:ROUTINE results or passing mentions, not a in-deep coverage of UEWA. Notability is not include just every result you get from google. -- HHH Pedrigree ( talk) 12:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
