Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Kevlar (talk) 18:46, 2 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I can't say that my logic is correct, but i can walk you through my thought process when i began creating these articles. There was a lot of debate about individual UFC events (example UFC 162) having stand alone articles. A proposed compromise was that upcoming UFC events as well as other Top and Second tier events (based on WP:MMATIER) would start as omnibus articles, then if the individual events were deemed notable they could be moved out of the omnibus into a stand alone article. The idea is that the content of the articles about the events is appropriate but the events may not meet criteria for stand alone articles. In the past, stand alone articles were put up for deletion which cause a lot of controversy / debate because it was all or nothing. People felt that there was some sort of secret cabal trying to remove all MMA articles from Wikipedia. Fast forward to after an omnibus existed and articles were PRODed Pride 4 through Pride 14 were merged with the respective omnibus articles with no grumbling, and no loss of content. I fully understand that this does not mean that this article meets criteria, it still may not, though i think it does. I just wanted anyone who wasn't aware of the history of this conversation to see where i was coming from in creating these articles. If the decision is to delete, i will obviously respect that.
