EFC Africa

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

Article was deleted in late March as well as being deleted earlier at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Extreme Fighting Championship Africa. All of the sources data back to 2011 or 2012 so there's nothing new to show notability. The only exception is a press release from Fight Network, but that is certainly not independent.Mdtemp (talk) 19:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per Briantw's comment of 2011: While each individual event doesn't carry the weight of significance, EFC Africa is holding its 11th event on 2011-11-10. This series of events is the largest in South Africa, and has grown to live coverage in a national cinema chain as well as two satellite television channels in the region. Now the largest in Africa. In both previous Afds the balamce was close on the company. --Bejnar (talk) 20:19, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One problem is that there's no independent evidence to show it's any more notable than it was at the last deletion discussion.Mdtemp (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I don't think there's enough significant coverage to meet the GNG. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 01:12, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete Unless some new additional sources are provided, there's nothing that indicates this promotion has gained notability since the previous two times it was deleted. Papaursa (talk) 22:39, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[1][2][3][4] are any of these credible? Dwanyewest (talk) 00:19, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not impressed. They're not new sources or significant. I can't access the first source given, the second is a promotional release from EFC Africa in 2012 saying that ratings had doubled since 2011 (and this source was given in the previous discussion), the third is a one line mention in an article about cashing in on MMA in Canada where EFC is clearly described as minor "nth-tier fighting cards from promotions including Battlefield Fight League and Extreme Fighting Championship Africa", while the fourth is a 2011 article about a fighter who fights (or fought) for the EFC and the promotion gets a passing mention. None of these is post the last AfD and the most recent is the 2013 business article describing the EFC as n-th tier. It hardly makes a strong case for notability.
