MMA fighter with no top tier fights so fails WP:NMMA. No evidence that he meets the kickboxing criteria at WP:KICK since the IKF is not listed as a major organization.Mdtemp (talk) 18:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Taken from WP:KICK : A kickboxing athlete is presumed notable if they've fought for a world title of a major organization (K-1, WMC, ISKA, WAKO, etc. Barrington had fought for WAKO which is a major organisation for the world title within the tournament and was given Bronze in 1996 (W.A.K.O. European Championships 1996) I believe he meets the criteria with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.189.158.217 (talk) 22:21, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Third place European does not make a fight for the world championship. He may be notable for other things but not his fight record.Peter Rehse (talk) 22:46, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails notability standards for both MMA and kickboxing (WP:NMMA and WP:KICK). Third place at European amateur championships does not show notability.204.126.132.231 (talk) 23:28, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
