Fighter fails WP:NMMA JadeSnake (talk) 13:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes WP:MMANOT and WP:NMMA by virtue of having fought in the UFC, MFC and....in a few days....DREAM. Has multiple appearances for these promotions and was a long time champion in the MFC; Canada's top promotion. Has also fought in Hero's (sic) and KOTC; all promotions that appear on WP:MMANOT. Passes WP:ATHLETE and is generally very notable in the sport. A definite keep. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch on the Hero's. It is big because it was put on by K-1 and had amazing fights. The people who came to consensus about mmatier were very confused. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 20:26, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NMMA. --TreyGeek (talk) 00:42, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Several appearances in some most notable promotions. Virtually no pretext to challenge notability. Behemoth (talk) 20:12, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets all notability criteria and guidelines. Really confusing nominee for deletion. Sepulwiki (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not notable. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 23:34, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
'Weak keep - Passes WP:GNG, but fails WP:NMMA. --LlamaAl (talk) 00:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment :WP:NMMA does not superscede WP:GNG

Delete Fails WP:NMMA with only 1 top tier fight of the 3 needed to show MMA notability. Jakejr (talk) 05:49, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He has two for the top tier. He fought against Aoki in Dream this morning. Also has multiple title matches in the MFC, which could be considered a part of WP:NMMA and WP:MMANOT. Paralympiakos (talk) 17:44, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. Has fights for the UFC,Dream,WFA, and MFC title fights. Also has refs here, here here, and especially here Sports Illustrated. He is also notable from being in the california hall of fame for being JUCO champ This nomination is silly imo PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 20:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the California Hall of Fame, it's the California Community College Hall of Fame and every juco wrestler who wins the state title is listed. Jakejr (talk) 02:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. So he is a 2x hall of famer then cuz I noticed he was champ backtoback. Please also take into consideration the parent website that host that HOF has well over 30 million views. So that is definitely a good ref for Mckee. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merely being in a list of names does not constitute "significant coverage". In addition, his accomplishment doesn't meet the notability criteria for college athletes (WP:NCOLLATH). Jakejr (talk) 03:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You make the mistake of thinking he is solely being judged based on one catagory. His college career was many years ago and is just icing on the cake. Besides, to quote the college athlete guideline you posted "2. Were inducted into the hall of fame in their sport (for example, the College Football Hall of Fame).". Mckee is in the JUCO HOF for which he competed. Never mind the circumstances surrounding his inclusion or th efact that he is only mentioned as being a member of the HOF. He has plenty of other refs including ones where he is interviewed by Sports Illustrated and Yahoo Sports. Passes WP:V and WP:GNG with flying colors.

Keep — Meets WP:GNG. Fought two times for top-tier organizations and many times for second-tier organizations like Maximum Fighting Championship and King of the Cage, being the lightweight champion for MFC. The article's content is well-sourced, so i can't see a good reason to delete. Poison Whiskey 23:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Also forgot to add K-1 for Hero's 4. Sepulwiki (talk) 2:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep He has fought once in the UFC, once in Dream and multiple times in the MFC and won the MFC lightweight championship so he is notable. Entity of the Void (talk) 21:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
