UFC AFDs
Those were never transcluded to the AfD page so there's probably not a lot of point them existing. I'm a bit pushed for time today, so if you want to remove the AfD banners from the articles, I'll delete the AfD pages when I get the chance. Black Kite (talk) 08:50, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't been able to spend much time on Wikipedia lately. Looks like they've been "officially" listed as AfDs.  I'll leave them alone for now.  --TreyGeek (talk) 03:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Jake Bostwick
I've only nominated a few, very obvious MMA people before. Bostwick was deleted via AfD discussion. A speedy delete on grounds of it being deleted before was denied. To me, he still fails WP:MMANOT, but I'm in no way a MMA expert. What do you think? Bgwhite (talk) 05:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * At first glance it appears that Bostwick hasn't fought at the "highest level" of MMA as required by WP:ATHLETE (or whatever the guideline is these days) and WP:MMANOT. If I had an interest in having the article removed, I would AfD it again.  --TreyGeek (talk) 03:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, It has been brought to my attention from an outside source about this discussion. Can I first point out that Jake Bostwick is a former UCMMA middleweight champion and currently the UCMMA welterweight champion? UCMMA is, along with BAMMA and Cage Warriors, the biggest MMA promotion in the United Kingdom.

Secondly, after glancing over WP:MMANOT and WP:ATHLETE, I see that they are indeed guidelines. Now I may be cut from a different cloth from you two in terms of how we see what a guideline is but to me, a guideline is optional when it comes to following it, meaning that they cannot be used in AfDs as the sole reason why to delete any article.

Thirdly, I have spent much time working on the page (as well as being the creator of the page), I have found very strong sources from websites such as The Sun, The Mirror as well as finding information that goes beyond it from being a 'typical' mixed martial artist's Wikipedia page, as it has information about him being on a reality tv show called Party Wars, and being the headline of an article in which he got into issues with the police for his tactics whilst working as a Wheel Clamper only strengthens his notability. The very sources on him alone helps him pass WP:GNG, which is all you need to pass a page on Wikipedia in my opinion.

I would welcome constructive ideas about improving the page even more, but to talk about deleting the page without informing me first of this discussion I find is a bit disrespectful towards me, however I fairness to you we haven't exactly known each other for a while, so now I have adding myself to the topic and given the facts of the page's position on Wikipedia, now we can talk to help improve the page even more.

Since you filed the SPI, I wanted to update you that I've reversed the block. I requested another editor to review the case, and while there are a lot of coincidences, he felt it was borderline enough based on behavior, that the block should be reversed and instead just monitor the situation. I had some reservations going into the block, but it seemed likely, however, I fully respect the review and would ask we all give the benefit of the doubt in this case. I completely see why you reported it (I did block, after all), so there is no question as to your faith here. Just wanted to update you.

Alpha Chi National Honor Society copyright
I made changes and enhancements to the Alpha Chi National College Honor Society page including citations to sources. The Director of Operations contacted Wikipedia, granting permission for material from the website to be used by Wikipedia. She received a reply indicating that it was safe to move forward with the edits. Nearly a month later, you removed the edits. Is there something I'm missing here?

A copy of the email sent to Wikipedia, and the reply:

Dear Lara Noah,

Thank you for your email. Our response follows your message.

Until the ticket is confirmed and an OTRS administrator marks it as such, copyrighted material cannot be added to the article.

ONE FC Omnibus page
Hello, I was wondering if you would like to assist me on creating an omnibus page for ONE Fighting Championship events? I had a look on the history of 2012 in mixed martial arts events page, and saw that you added in the information on One FC events to that page, so I would like you to help me retrieve the full pages on the following ONE FC events as done like the still existing ONE Fighting Championship: Champion vs. Champion and ONE Fighting Championship: Battle of Heroes pages -


 * ONE Fighting Championship: War of the Lions
 * ONE Fighting Championship: Destiny of Warriors
 * ONE Fighting Championship: Pride of a Nation

Now you don't have to do this for me, but it would make my life so much more easier, I have already started making the page on my Sandbox, which has the first two ONE FC events on there (which were the first two event links I put on this conversation). Having access to these pages would save me hours of researching and typing, and then once the page is up and running we can then change the current merged pages that I can't get hold of to go to the omnibus page as well as merging the still existing pages to the new page for the events. Thank you for reading, looking forward to your reply. Pound4Pound (talk) 12:00, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for since you have access to the same pages as I do. Are you wanting to know the contents of those pages before they were redirected to the omnibus page?  If so they are accessible here, here, and here.  Just look in each article's history.  --TreyGeek (talk) 14:33, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

That is pretty much what I want, and also once the page is created I would like your help redirecting the merged names to the omnibus page. Thank you very much. Pound4Pound (talk) 13:28, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
