Mike Bruno

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

MMA fighter who fails WP:NMMA because he's had no fights for a top tier organization. His other claims to notability seem to be as a successful high school wrestler (but fails WP:NSPORTS#Amateur sports persons) and as a no-gi wrestler in NAGA. However, the article lists only 1 appearance at an advanced level and no appearances at the NAGA world championships. His "World Cup" first place finish was in a division with only 1 other competitor. There's nothing here that shows notability. Jakejr (talk) 03:21, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NMMA and his grappling accomplishments don't appear to be significant per WP:ATHLETE. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:59, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. His accomplishments at the world largest grappling events world championship are enough. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 13:40, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're saying that a New York state wrestling tournament shows his notability? That's hardly the highest level of competition for NAGA, much less for a grappler (consider ADCC). There's no evidence he even competed in that tournament and, if he did, he's not listed among the medalists. There's also no evidence he competed at the NAGA world championships (world cup is a much different event). Jakejr (talk) 22:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. No silly. I put that link so the uninitiated can read a third party description of NAGA as a whole( Hint, It is towards the bottom, and describing how immense it is. And it is Mike Bruno being the champion of this organization that drastically increases his notability as per wikipedia athlete requirements.

Evidence of his champion status click on no-gi and do a search. You will see Mike Bruno is the men's lightweight champion in the toughest divisionPortlandOregon97217 (talk) 00:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How do you think I know the division he won had only 2 entrants? There's nothing to support your claim it was the toughest division (smallest perhaps) and, as I said, it's not the NAGA world championships as you keep claiming (or at least implying). He's nowhere to be found for that tournament. Jakejr (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Winning an un-notable (and quite trivial) trophy does not warrant a wikipedia article. This is not notable. Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE, or WP:NMMA --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 02:50, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NMMA and WP:GNG. JadeSnake (talk) 07:11, 6 January 2013 (UTC) JadeSnake blocked as a sock of the blocked JonnyBonesJones. ✍ Mtking ✉ 07:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NMMA and there's nothing in his wrestling career to support claims of notability. Mdtemp (talk) 17:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No fights for a top tier MMA organization, thus failing WP:NMMA. There's no evidence he competed at the highest level of grappling, either. In fact, he doesn't appear to have competed at the highest levels of NAGA--Pan-American, North American, or World championships. The World Cup event is not a major event, even for NAGA.
