- This one does lay itself wide open for humour. --Bejnar (talk) 04:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per ArcAngel. Also for a failure in semantics. --Bejnar (talk) 04:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete No sources write about the topic–it is not notable. Johnuniq (talk) 05:13, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - Original research. No source makes a list like this. Not a relevant topic, since height is not a criteria in wrestling. - Taketa (talk) 05:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Comment – Johnuniq writes "No sources write about the topic", and in fact set about this AFD with a comment to WT:PW about the list, picking out a quote from André the Giant's listing which may come across as odd to the uninitiated. My numerous complaints about cherry-picked web sources aside, the fact is that André's height was called into question as far back as 1976, when he faced Chuck Wepner at Shea Stadium. A section of WP:LAME is devoted to this very topic. Other extraordinarily tall wrestlers gained mainstream attention mainly due to their height. I don't recall anyone discussing Jorge González or Al Poling in the context of their wrestling talent; in fact, with those two, discussion typically focused on their lack of talent.

- Delete. Too indiscriminate by far. Fails WP:LISTN, unless someone can come up with significant coverage of this topic in reliable sources. I don't see anything on Google that would attest to that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete; interesting but very difficult to reliably source. McPhail (talk) 13:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
