The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Neither of the keep arguments cite any policy-based reasons to keep. The suggestion to redirect seems reasonable, but given that there was no discussion of it, I'm not going to implement it as part of the consensus. However, there's nothing to prevent anybody from creating the redirect on their own if they want. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:51, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a non-notable sports event. Fails WP:GNG for lack of available independent sources that discuss the subject in any depth. - Mr X 11:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article is about a company that was renamed (from WSOF to PFL) and currently has 40+ stand alone Wikipedia entries on events. Keep. Udar55 (talk) 00:52, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there are a lot of these types of articles that should also be deleted for lacking notability. Do you have a policy-based argument for keeping this one?- Mr X 12:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How is the launch of a promotion with a million dollar purse on NBC Sports (albeit, it was the WSOF before) considered "non-notable" ? There's more to MMA than the UFC. Nor is there a lack of independent sources, given every MMA news outlet carried the event. LFA events have wikipedia entries, as do Invicta (as they should, but they still only air on Fight Pass). Once again, MMA:NOT guidelines fail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.121.161.194 (talk) 12:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not determined by the size of a purse. Can you provide any links to reliable, independent sources that have written about this event?- Mr X 12:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete No indication that this event meets WP:GNG or WP:NEVENT. There is nothing to show this has anything other than routine sports coverage. The fact that other events have articles has no bearing on this event's notability (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). I have no problem with it being in a list of events, but I see no reason for this to have its own article. Papaursa (talk) 16:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Amending my earlier comment as this has been brought up on the MMA talk page. A solution could be to do a yearly list of the events, similar to how Bellator MMA is now handled. If that is allowed, then I believe this stand alone page can be deleted. Udar55 (talk) 15:36, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of WSOF events. Already mentioned there, per WP:ATD-R. Regards So Why 08:11, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
