Non-notable MMA fighter. Has no top tier fights so article was created WP:TOOSOON. Assuming he'll get 3 top tier fights is WP:CRYSTALBALL. No objection to recreating article if he gets 3 top tier fights.Mdtemp (talk) 15:09, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article has a lot of issues. The bottom line is that he doesn't meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters and the references are just routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 03:47, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
keep or userfy It is too soon, but fighter will get 3 fights pretty soon. Also passes GNG with enough independent coverage as seen here [1], [2], [3], and [4]. 173.52.99.208 (talk) 06:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Considering he has only 4 lifetime fights, none in even a second tier organization, the claim he will soon have 3 top tier fights is a bit preposterous. Papaursa (talk) 15:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't GNG trump all? Independent coverage seems to be quite big. 173.52.99.208 (talk) 22:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fight announcements and results are considered routine sports reporting and don't contribute to meeting WP:GNG. The TUF coverage is either about results or passing mentions.Mdtemp (talk) 17:28, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as too soon and the 1 Keep above emphasizes this. SwisterTwister talk 06:27, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
