Aung La Nsang

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Has no top tier fights and highest ranking ever by Fight Matrix was 34th. Neither is enough to meet WP:NMMA. Coverage is routine sports reporting and MMA databases, which isn't enough to meet the GNG. Sandals1 (talk) 21:21, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep What the hell? Are you joking? Well, he may fail WP:NMMA but he is a national hero and heroic figure of Myanmar (Aung La N Sang is celebrated as a national hero ) and also a figure of Kachin State and Kachin people . His own bronze statue erected in 2018 at the Kachin National Manau Park in his hometown of Myitkyina – see source, Aung La N Sang Honored With Statue In Myanmar. During the opening ceremony of the statue a huge crowd of thousands fans gathered.

Asia Nikkei – "As arguably Myanmar's most popular sportsman -- ever", "He's also one of the few Myanmar citizens with an international profile, given the country only began opening up to the outside world over the last decade.", "Aung La was the subject of unprecedented national attention in the lead-up to the fight with Russia's then-middleweight champion Vitaly Bigdash".

He was feted and honored by Myanmar's military leaders as well as de facto civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and shown their respect on him. How much do you need? Um?. Taung Tan (talk) 07:21, 5 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Sources provided by Taung Tan seems to show enough to pass WP:GNG. (gotta say though no need for the hostility.)  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 10:48, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as per Taung Tan and his sources - although he may not meet WP:NMMA, Aung La Nsang very much passes WP:GNG through being a national icon for Myanmar. You may be able to find more info on him using the alternate spelling of his name Aung La N Sang. pinktoebeans  (talk) 10:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Taung Tan. Even if/ though Aung La doesn't meet NMMA, he doubtlessly passes GNG. Htanaungg (talk) 15:19, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep; Taung Tan's sources are enough to support to pass WP:GNG. Ninja ✮ Strikers  «☎» 06:40, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Several of the sources mentioned are from the promotion he fights in and are not independent. However, several of the sources mentioned by Taung Tan are good and should be added to the article. There's also some similar type references in the article, though they're buried by the preponderance of routine sports reporting.  The failure of Aung La Nsang to meet WP:NMMA is dwarfed by his meeting WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 13:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
