• Delete as searches found nothing obviously better, delete for now as the current article is still questionable. SwisterTwister talk 04:55, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Delete The information that I was provided with was that the Association is a legal body affiliated to the Ministry of Sports, that dictates MMA rules and have the power to sanction events in India - which was false. Upon verifying official documents it was proved that the organization was a society of MMA enthusiasts (Societies registration act 1860 - Regd: MH / 8907 / 2004 Nasik District 19/11/2004, Mumbai Registration Act 1950 Regd: F 8373 dt 31/05/2005) Indian Societies Registration Act. As this was out in public many credible media links were retracted. However the body functions as a solutions provider such as providing man power requirements logistics, technical aid, officials and seminars to conduct MMA events. Still there are no credible sources to verify these claims. I have requested the association for notable sources for the claims made. However the association was unable to provide any resources to validate the claims. Also noted was that the existing Wikipedia page was used on facebook to promote the association and its legitimacy.

• Delete Doesn't have the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. Mdtemp (talk) 08:10, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
• Delete Requesting to check the below cited source. The association is a closed community where every board member has one or two of their family members placed in suitable roles as well. For instance the Women's Development Board is nothing but the board consisting of wives and daughters of the chief delegates. I do not think it is ethical for this article to be on wikipedia.
