I don't know the WP:N for weight classes but an unoffical weight class not used by any professional promotion and is sparsely contested in the amatuer ranks does not seem to merit an article. A goggle serach of the article's topic brings up existing debates on the need for the weight class. Right now is this article nessecary? MattParker 119 (talk) 23:24, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable weight class. (I'd even be willing to argue against having articles about any of the individual weight classes.)  --TreyGeek (talk) 00:18, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It's hard to see how an article about a weight class that no major MMA organizations use is notable. Papaursa (talk) 03:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Not sure if about weight class notability in general, but I do know that a weight class than nobody uses is pretty meaningless. Jakejr (talk) 13:43, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion had apparently not gotten listed here at the main discussion log, I've corrected that. --joe deckertalk to me 14:45, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep This is the best sourced article of any of the weight class articles for any fight sport that I've looked at. The subject is verifiable and notable, even if it isn't actually used much. gnfnrf (talk) 21:51, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Question Why is this listed as the third nomination? I can find no record of any previous AfD nominations. Jakejr (talk) 22:17, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I think listed as a "third nomination" in error.  The article was prod'ed twice.  First here and was removed by an admin because no reason for the Prod was stated.  MattParket prod'ed it a second time here but the same admin removed it saying it had already been prod'ed once.  This would be MattParker's third attempt at the deletion process.  At least, that's what I've figured out.  --TreyGeek (talk) 23:08, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
