Cage Fighting Championship 1

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced article. The only coverage I can find of this event is the standard fight results tables. Event appears to fail WP:GNG. TreyGeek (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason (unsourced, no coverage other than the usual fight results and some online videos):

Wait, so since these articles don't have any sources apart from Sherdog (which I have not linked to, I know) and the promotions website (which I have linked to where possible and also includes press releases via the link), they don't belong on Wikipedia? -- Manwithaduck (talk) 14:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * For an article to "belong on Wikipedia" the article's subject should be notable. Wikipedia's general notability guidelines says that a subject is notable if it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".  I could find very little in the way of significant coverage of these events.  The coverage I could find consisted almost entirely of routine fight results and some videos.  The articles themselves cite no sources independent of Cage Fighting Championship.  This lack of coverage suggests, to me, that these events are not notable.  --TreyGeek (talk) 05:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Since no one else has voted or commented yet, I added the article on an upcoming event (#20) to the list. I would also point out that the article for the organization is completely unsourced. Papaursa (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete all I was unable to find significant coverage for any of these events and they all seem to fail WP:SPORTSEVENT. Papaursa (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete all per nom. Wikipedia isn't a list of all trivial facts, only notable ones.  Dennis Brown (talk) 23:34, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete all Some MMA events are notable. These are not. These events featured only a handful of notable fighters and the promotion is not top-tier according to WP:MMANOT. These pages primarily list match results, which is routine sports reporting that does not pass WP:SPORTSEVENT. There isn't a single reference that is independent of the subject that would suggest otherwise. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 16:10, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
