Orphaned references in Robert Kellum

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Robert Kellum's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Robert Kellum → The Maestro (wrestler) – This is the ring name used by Kellum during his period of greatest exposure. McPhail (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. McPhail (talk) 19:32, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support He wasn't exactly famous as anyone, but comparatively so as The Maestro. Still uses a derivation. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:06, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seems to be his most infamous persona, so much so that he still uses a variation of the name to this day.LM2000 (talk) 09:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is more information being taking down on this page that has been there for a good couple years? Have contributed information with resources on this page for a couple years now with resources only to have in the past month being taken down and having these notices? This is all factual information with the same reliable resources. Please help. Thanks. Stromedia16 October 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 14:04, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the independent source for those signature moves and managers? Standard practice is to only list the highest PWI ranking attained, so while placing #275 in 2005 is verifiable, we don't consider it notable. The reason stuff was removed lately is because it has been noticed. Less popular articles are less maintained, simply for fewer eyes on them, and some last years in a much poorer state. Silence on the issue doesn't indicate acceptance. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:00, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Maestro, I hope that you will understand what is going on. We are going to clean up your article. That means regarding your career, we will only include things that are notable and verifiable. Notability, I'm afraid, relies on coverage in reliable secondary sources, (meaning, not you, the primary source) So I foresee much of your work in the indy circuit and minor promotions (anything not named WCW or AAA) will have to be trimmed. As for the PWI 500 rankings, we only list the highest ranking for your whole career across all wrestling articles... and runner-up won't be listed either. Although, I guess you will be the best person in knowing your finishing moves and signature moves.... Starship.paint (talk) 06:23, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
