here we go again, another sprawling series of fighting results with no evidence of meeting WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 08:37, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All WP:EVENT reads "Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect." These events determine the champions and rankings for the contenders of K-1. Therefore these results of these events have significant lasting effects and thus meet the criteria for WP:EVENT.--Ryan.germany (talk) 13:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

a new interest in kickboxing Ryan? These events do not determine champions or top rankings, they are qualifying events for other events. Many of the participants are non notable. Where is the significant enduring coverage to prove they meet WP:EVENT? LibStar (talk) 14:14, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all These are qualifying events, at best. They determined no champions and the articles have no independent sources. For example, the French tournament winner qualified for a tournament in Paris where the winner would qualify for another event where the winners qualified for the championship tournament. That's not exactly determining the K-1 champion. I disagree that these pass WP:EVENT. Astudent0 (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete all - per lack of significant coverage by independent sources. These are run-of-the-mill competitions.--70.80.234.163 (talk) 01:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all I agree with Astudent's research and assessment. Papaursa (talk) 03:35, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. Had difficulty finding anything useful for the individual events. "K-1 kickboxing 2003" gets some GNews hits, typically about this-or-that washed-up boxer or NFL player who's giving kickboxing a shot, but not anything of note concerning these particular events, that I could find. The WP articles just link to the company website, except for the German event, where there is a solitary link to a kickboxing forum where someone's asking for results--so perhaps I'm not the only one who's had trouble finding even WP:ROUTINE coverage, much less something reliable. If author(s) could provide anything WP:RS, that would be helpful. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:43, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm still waiting for the one keep !voter to supply sources 12 days after he claimed notability. LibStar (talk) 00:51, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
