Dean Amasinger

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Subject is non-notable. He's had only 7 professional fights, none in a notable promotion, none against a notable fighter. His most notable achievement appears to be a fighter UFC's reality show The Ultimate Fighter, but was eliminated in the first round of the tournament. Google search consists of only fight records, blog entries about The Ultimate Fighter, and match descriptions. Further, the article content, aside from the fight record, is unsourced. This article was also speedily deleted once before due to notability concerns (Deletion log). TreyGeek (talk) 00:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:BIO and WP:ATHLETE both. Ravenswing 09:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There are no claims that are not backed up by sources. -- WölffReik (talk) 17:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It isn't as if anyone's claiming he doesn't exist - he just fails of notability. None of the sources anyone's provided cures that. Ravenswing 21:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete: per WP:ATHLETE. M0RD00R (talk) 16:57, 19 December 2009 (UTC) If Dean Amasinger indeed is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion, then the article might be worth keeping. M0RD00R (talk) 21:00, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It is a reasonably well-written article about a notable sportsman. Perhaps a clean-up and a few more sources are needed, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.94.7 (talk) 14:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the above IP is almost certainly WolfR-something further up. Editor has four or five IP addresses under which he also edits game-, Rambo- and fighting-related articles. --EEMIV (talk) 15:53, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails notability standards at WP:ATHLETE, low as those are. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:52, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have provided reliable sources.

Keep: Long winning streak, young and has an excellent ground game, there are TONS of lesser prospects out there and MANY pages that are stubbed out here. This article is well written and we would just have to re-create it sooner rather than later and the editor may not be active. David.snipes (talk) 13:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
