Only a handful of fights, none in the last 3 years, none with notable organizations, none against a notable fighter; fails WP:MMANOT and WP:GNG. TreyGeek (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Notability is not temporary, so the nominator's complaint about "no fights in the last three years" is completely irrelevant here. Joe Louis has not fought in the last three years, and that is similarly irrelevant to his notability. Edison (talk) 17:04, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I suppose it was a vague way of saying that since this person has had very few fights and none recently, one can assume the subject is not a professional fighter and thus would also not be notable as per WP:ATHLETE. If someone had a long history of fights (whether with a notable organization or not) and hasn't fought recently, they may still be a professional fighter but has retired and/or is deceased. I personally don't see that in this case. --TreyGeek (talk) 17:50, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He fails to meet WP:MMANOT. He has no fights for a major organization or against a notable opponent (his last 3 opponents have a grand total of 1 victory among them). The article implies he's an active fighter, but that doesn't seem to be the case. However, that's irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion. Papaursa (talk) 18:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's no doubt he fails WP:MMANOT. Astudent0 (talk) 18:14, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
