 * Redirect to Cockfight, where it is already mentioned. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect, per Clarityfiend. All of BabbaQ's additional refs point to the same event, so I think existing section within Cockfight article does the job. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per NOTNEWS to the suggested target above. All coverage is of that one event, which is certainly not notable enough in and of itself.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:02, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
