This list relies largely upon what I consider to be an unreliable source and is hopelessly crufty.

Keep "Cruft" is a meaningless term that has been thrown around so much that it has no meaning. WP:LISTCRUFT is an essay with no actual weight on Wikipedia. The topic is obviously notable and the comment about the source doesn't justify deletion. It justifies some work on the page.

Keep. There is no better source for information on professional wrestling than the WON.

The information in this case is a list of awards created and then voted on by WON.

Delete: There is currently no Wikipedia article for
Wrestling Observer Newsletter(just a redirect), which is most likely due to the fact that the publication was not found worthy of an article. Therefor it makes no sense to have an article detailing awards given out by said publication. --

We can all make up reasons for why there is no article on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, but the simple facts are that the article was created in 2005 as a redirect to
Dave Meltzer, and there is no deletion log for the newsletter article. "It doesn't have an article so it's not notable" doesn't hold any water since we don't have a
deadline on Wikipedia to have articles about every single notable subject to ever exist.

Keep Typical deletionist weak tripe for a rationale to delete a large article.
WP:ITSCRUFT is not a deletion rationale. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is a notable newsletter that has been around for decades. Days to create an article, five seconds for you to destroy and get barnstars for the "good work".

Keep a Wrestling Encyclopedia would include this information, the list has a scope for inclusion and most (possibly all) of its content is notable. On the minus side, it needs moving to
List of Wrestling Observer Newsletter award winners which is what it actually is.
