On notability grounds. Some references were added but it still is a young organization with not much history. Borderline enough that a debate is worthwhile Peter Rehse (talk) 09:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I could not find clear guidelines on the Mixed Martial Arts Project page about organizations - and got no feedback when I posed the question on the Talk Page.  I think this article is a good test case.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There are notability guidelines for kickboxing organizations at WikiProject Martial arts/Kickboxing task force and at WP:MMANOT for MMA organizations. Papaursa (talk) 00:45, 14 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep What more does the article need to be safe? I don't know what more needs to be done, especially since, even if this is a young organization, it is the biggest promoter in Belgium; being the only who (in cooperation with It's Showtime) has organized some of the biggest kickboxing events in Europe in recent times (It's Showtime Fast & Furious and It's Showtime 57&58 being the most notable), hauling in top names in the sport to fight. Their imminent Boxing event shows that they're expanding as well.

What's more is that I find it quite ridiculous if one has to properly assess the article on guidelines that barely exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.132.127.165 (talk) 14:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC) I'm sorry this was my comment, forgot to sign in.Znertu (talk) 14:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I think this article needs better sources. What I see are fight results, press releases, and non-independent sources.  This looks more like it's part of It's Showtime since so far only one of its events has not carried the It's Showtime name (WP:NOTINHERITED). Papaursa (talk) 00:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I don't see any significant independent coverage of this organization. Mdtemp (talk) 16:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete or possibly merge to It's Showtime. I see only one reliable source discussing BFN.  --Nouniquenames (talk) 17:59, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
