~~Weak Keep or~~ Userfy - As he is currently signed with a top-tier promotion (the UFC) and has a fight booked. I generally don't favor deleting articles for active fighters that have the potential to pass WP:NMMA in the future (WP:CRYSTALBALL, I know...) but at least I would like to see someone WP:USERFY the article and recreate it if he gets three fights.

Userfy Subject currently has no top tier fights so he fails WP:NMMA and he lacks the significant coverage required for GNG. Assuming he'll get 3 UFC fights is clearly CRYSTALBALL, but since he may get them I'd rather save someone the trouble of recreating the article if he does.Mdtemp (talk) 14:40, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is ridiculous, there are at least 100 articles about lesser known fighters and nobody is against them. The person (not "subject") is signed by the biggest organization in the world (multi-fight deal) and has a fight coming up. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mixed_martial_arts/MMA_notability there is a criteria called "Subject of multiple independent articles/documentaries--articles should be from national or international media, not just local coverage." which is definitely fulfilled if you look at Google for a few seconds.Crickz99 (talk) 17:40, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is your first article, but you may want to review some of Wikipedia's policies. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS explains that each article is evaluated on its own merits, WP:NOTNEWSPAPER explains that routine sports coverage does not show notability, and WP:NMMA explains what the notability criteria is for MMA fighters.

Userfy I agree with the previous userfy comments--the subject does not currently seem to meet any notability guidelines, but he may if he stays with the UFC long enough and I'd prefer to save the work already done (at least for the time being). Saving it to Crickz99's sandbox seems reasonable to me. Papaursa (talk) 18:34, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
