Delete Fails notability. Master Sun Tzu (talk) 07:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has fought three times for and is currently signed to Glory, the world's top promotion. Is currently ranked as 7th in the world in the Glory rankings. Shaolin Punk (talk) 13:51, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Number of fights is not notability criteria in kickboxing. I proposed that but looks like it won't work. Master Sun Tzu (talk) 18:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article says he is ranked Top 7th in the World - in Glory ranking. If a publication backed that up he would meet notability requirements.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If Glory's official site is "independent publication that meets the definition of a reliable source" than I would be glad to vote for keep. But I am not sure that it is "independent". Master Sun Tzu (talk) 07:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Glory's rankings are strictly for their own fighters so they aren't a true world ranking (and certainly aren't independent). I'd even question how good they are for their own fighters--Schilt is ranked third even though he's apparently retired and hasn't fought since the end of 2012.Mdtemp (talk) 17:28, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:KICK and not otherwise notable.204.126.132.231 (talk) 17:08, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't meet WP:KICK. His two recent losses to Dustin Jacoby, whose article was just deleted as non-notable, don't help his case. Papaursa (talk) 04:52, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
