Bec Hyatt

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

MMA fighter that fails to meet WP:NMMA. She now has 1 of the 3 required top tier fights, compared to zero when the article was previously deleted. No objection to this being userfied and brought back once she meets the MMA notability criteria. Mdtemp (talk) 20:05, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep/Withdraw nomination My bad. I missed that she was a replacement for an Invicta title fight. Mdtemp (talk) 15:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Fought for the strawweight title of Invicta (which is a top tier women's organization). That's enough to meet WP:NMMA even if she's had only 1 top tier fight. Papaursa (talk) 21:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia's guidelines say a MMA fighter is notable if they 'have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization'. Invicta is undoubtedly THE world's top tier women's MMA organization and it's viewership and buzz easily rivals that of some top-tier men's organizations. Bec has fought for the highest title in Invicta. Even suggesting the removal of her article is an insult to women's MMA and female athletes in general.

 * Welcome to Wikipedia (WP). This is your first post, so you might want to familiarize yourself with WP policies, such as WP:AGF which means we assume people are acting in good faith.  I'd also recommend WP:V, WP:N, and WP:RS.   Papaursa (talk) 17:43, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep This criterion is met: Have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization. My Thai28 (talk) 14:03, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep — Passes WP:NMMA. Different from the last discussion, she has fought for the highest title of a top-tier organization (Invicta FC) according to WP:MMATIER. I'm also sure that the article meets the WP:GNG criteria, with reliable sources that cover significantly the article: Sports Illustrated, MMAFighting (a subsidiary of SBNation) and searching i also found an interview with MMAJunkie radio (a subsidiary of USA Today) and Bleacherreport. Notability is clear for me.  Poison  Whiskey  16:03, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
