Delete — Fails WP:GNG and WP:MMANOT as he has not fought for top tier organizations.

Not Delete He has competed on the recent TUF smashes and is a big name on the local UK mma scene. He has fought against current UFC fighter Jimi Manuwa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saintsfc08 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being "a big name on the local scene" is not enough to show notability. Having once fought a fighter who became notable doesn't show notability either (see WP:NOTINHERITED). Mdtemp (talk) 21:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Page Updated (information and sources), Keep I have spent some time adding in useful information and sourcing to the page, and after looking over the page I feel that it just about meets WP:GNG, so for that reason I vote keep. Pound4Pound (talk) 11:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He has no fights for a top tier MMA organization and only 1 fight for a second tier organization. Fails WP:MMANOT. There doesn't seem to be any significant non-routine coverage about him--not even close to meeting WP:GNG. Mdtemp (talk) 21:32, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject clearly doesn't meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters (WP:MMANOT). The fact that he traveled with Cirque du Soleil also doesn't make him notable. Finally, I don't think the sources given meet the significant and independent coverage requirement necessary to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 03:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
