Daniel Straus

This is not true, Straus is a lightweight fighter, and no where in the article is there a reference to him being a "light heavyweight." Also, he is not a featherweight, and to my knowledge he has never fought as featherweight. His last fight, which I witnessed first hand, he fought Karen Darabedyan it a lightweight fight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gc 424 (talk • contribs) 07:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Probably fails WP:MMANOT. Has no sources. Worst of all, it contains many factual errors. He's a featherweight, not a light heavyweight.  Paralympiakos  (talk) 19:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete – I was unable to find much evidence of notability in a Google News search; the only relevant article I saw was a recap of an event he took part in. Don't think that's enough to prove there should be an article. As a side note, I think it would be beneficial for future discussions if WP:MMANOT indicated which organizations are considered "top-level". The UFC is easy, but what about promotions like Pride or the WEC? I don't think Bellator would be in that class, but it would be easier for many editors if the organizations' importance was spelled out.

If we're talking notability, the level of coverage surely isn't as high as some of the other organizations.)  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:21, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The MMA project's talk page archives contain the discussion of what MMA organizations are notable, as well as the objective criteria that were used. It's true not all of the organizations listed are equal but, for simplicity, we didn't want too many tiers.Papaursa (talk) 06:03, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
