Contested PROD : This sports event fails WP:NOT policy as it is for an event without any demonstrated enduring notability. Only sources are of the routine coverage type any sports event gets. Mt king ^(edits) 02:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article consists almost completely of WP:ROUTINE sports results. Fails WP:EVENT with a number of amateur MMA fights on the card. Papaursa (talk) 03:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This subject fails WP:EVENT and the coverage is totally WP:ROUTINE. Astudent0 (talk) 16:06, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
delete This appears to be just another MMA fight card with no signficant bouts or non-routine coverage. Mdtemp (talk) 18:57, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails routine or something like that. Portillo (talk) 08:28, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article cites no non-MMA sources and a quick Google search reveals little in the way of non-MMA sources therefore it may fail WP:GNG. The article contains no well-sourced prose, as requested by WP:SPORTSEVENT, and contains only routine coverage of fight results. --TreyGeek (talk) 16:16, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is because Google is programmed to give the most relevant results. No matter what MMA event you search, the majority of results will come from MMA-based sources. However, if you actually check the results, there are plenty of non-MMA listings, such as articles in USAtoday, Yahoo Sports, Examiner.com, and more. So instead of deleting the article saying there are no non-MMA sources, why not improve the article by adding one? Zeekfox (talk) 19:25, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Google has nothing to do with the fact that there is nothing about this event that indicates the significant long term notability required by WP:EVENT or that the coverage is simply routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 21:39, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because the subject is clearly important enough to be on Wikipedia and no one could seriously say otherwise. In fact, I have encountered the various incarnations of the guy who started this discussion elsewhere as he has been posting requests and sending out emails for people to come vote in these MMA discussions all over the place while gloating about how he is getting away using multiple accounts to fix the votes. See here, for example. I hate to be a snitch, but when I tried to engage with this dude and he blew me off and not in a good way!
