Alexandre Almeida

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable MMA fighter. Fails WP:NMMA with no top tier fights. As agreed to in many previous AFD discussions, being the champion of a second tier organization does not show notability. Routine sports coverage is not enough to meet GNG. Mdtemp (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Can we cite a Reasons for deletion for this AfD? Is it possible that this article passes WP:GNG, even if it does not meet WP:NMMA? Kevlar (talk) 16:34, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * He doesn't meet WP:GNG because all of the coverage is routine sports reporting, mainly about his WSOF 26 fight.Mdtemp (talk) 16:28, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * He has more than routine coverage. His Brazilian news sources are more in depth. Passes WP:GNG Jumbotron5000 (talk) 06:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * What sources did you find that showed notability? I searched a number of the references in the article that didn't mention the WSOF in the title and still found the coverage was basically routine sports reporting--fight announcements, results, and promotion.

 * For example: These Rede Globo articles go into detail about his aneurism symptoms and how he was going to be on The Ultimate Fighter Brazil. http://globoesporte.globo.com/am/noticia/2015/12/alexandre-capitao-supera-suspeita-de-aneurisma-e-vira-campeao-no-wsof.html http://sportv.globo.com/site/combate/noticia/2015/10/do-fim-da-carreira-ao-wsof-capitao-supera-suposto-aneurisma-e-mira-titulo.html
 * Then this Tatame article talks about aspirations (this was when he was projected to fight in the UFC but opted for WSOF). http://www.tatame.com.br/tatame/mais-novo-campeao-do-jungle-alexandre-capitao-ja-sonha-com-o-ufc His international coverage is being discounted and that isn't fair. I encourage you all to brush up on how to treat non-English sources via the policyWP:NOENG. Another great one for Capitao is this. It talks about his wife and daughter which is hardly promotional or routine http://sportv.globo.com/site/combate/noticia/2015/12/do-inferno-ao-ceu-alexandre-capitao-festeja-cinturao-apos-2015-conturbado.html . Also please explain what you mean by "promotional." I don't see any press releases listed as sources. Jumbotron5000 (talk) 09:35, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Here is a good place to start. Globo is a huge Brazilian news outlet and has more than routine coverage. I thought routine to be a passing mention such as a score or result, with little to no accompanying information. https://www.google.com.br/?gws_rd=ssl#q=alexandre+capitao+almeida+site:globo.com
 * Capitao has good coverage in Gracie Magazine too https://www.google.com.br/?gws_rd=ssl#q=alexandre+capitao+almeida+site:graciemag.com
 * Here is another giving much, much more than routine coverage. Las Vegas Review-Journal is a huge daily paper with over 170,000 daily copies. http://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/mma-ufc/questionable-decision-gives-almeida-wsof-featherweight-titleJumbotron5000 (talk) 09:38, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not meet WP:NMMA and I don't think that the coverage is significant enough to override that.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails the notability criteria for MMA fighters and I don't think WP:GNG is met. Coverage is routine sports reporting, fight results, and articles about suspected health problems that caused him to pull out of the TUF Brazil show.  That's WP:BLP1E at best. Papaursa (talk) 00:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best as this is still questionable for the necessary improvements, Delete for now until better is available. SwisterTwister   talk  05:09, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
