Why are you creating your own criteria when WP:NMMA already exists? Jakejr (talk) 22:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous poster, I believe you're misinterpreting Mdtemp's post. He's questioning the validity of the guidelines used. He says nothing about kickboxers meeting MMA guidelines. Papaursa (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Bearing that in mind, every biography which does not meet WP:NMMA would be deleted. --LlamaAl (talk) 00:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A "mixed martial arts" consensus should not apply to "kickboxing" articles. There is a huge difference between a "mixed martial artist" and a "kickboxer" for those wondering. I cant wait to see when one of the users run into a mixed martial artist with a above .500 record in professional boxing and nominate it for deletion because the professional boxer who just so happens to be a MMA fighter does not meet WP:NMMA.
Another anonymoust post. Sigh. This discussion is on the martial arts AfD page, not just MMA. I think Mdtemp has a valid point. It's hard to see how notability guidelines that were posted on a user's page can be claimed to represent WP consensus when it's also mentioned there were only 2 active participants for the kickboxing project. Papaursa (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's because K-1 went bankrupt and all the content on the original website was lost. The new website has one page talking about its Grand Prix tournaments and who's currently fighting for them, but that's it. I already gave quoted the guideline for notability via WP:Kickboxing. What else do you need to prove he passes under that criteria? Luchuslu (talk) 20:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He may well not have been listed on the old K-1 website since I know they didn't always list fighters unless they fought multiple times or in major K-1 events (like those leading to a K-1 champioship) and the Spanish event wasn't one of those. Also, it's hard to see how one gains notability by competing unsuccessfully at a non-notable event. Papaursa (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

  • Comment World Victory Road is top tier as it had top ten fighters in Hirota, King Mo, Siyar, and Jorge Santiago. And that is just one card I am looking at of theirs. That is the card Moise Rimbon was on. His other Pancrase fight should be Top Tier as well. The guy he fought had 3 fights in the UFC. Plus, Josh Barnett and a multitude of other Pancrase fighters are/were top ten. Josh Barnett] is their Heavyweight Champion. Bodogfight should be top tier because it had lindland,Fedor, and Eddie alvarez, among others. Yeah, Moise is a keep because he has fought in more than a few top tier events.PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 09:43, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He had 2 fights with WVR (considered top tier). There's no official UFC fights on his record and claiming Bodogfights and Pancrase are top tier is just making up your own standards instead of going with consensus. Papaursa (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You mean WP:MMATIER? That is just an essay. The evidence presented,in conjunction with common sense, lead me to believe he is notable enough for Wikipedia. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 22:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
At least it was done by consensus. You, on the other hand, prefer to use your own criteria instead--going so far as to make up your own tier rankings. Papaursa (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually in that notability thread one of the people I was arguing with said he would support Pancrase being top tier; Josh Barnett is their champion after all. There are also so few people involved in the mma project that to call anything churned out of there a consensus is laughable. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 07:32, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Barnett hasn't fought in Pancrase since 2003. If he's still their champion, I don't know how you make a case that it's an active top tier organization. As far as not many participants, that's not surprising when editors keep getting driven off. In the past week or so both Mtking and Jakejr decided they needed a break from the MMA abuse.
