Denis Stojnić

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With two top tier fights (both losses) he fails to meet WP:NMMA. All of the coverage appears to be routine sports reporting so he fails to meet WP:GNG.Mdtemp (talk) 18:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: This fighter has only fought in 2 top tier bouts therefore this article is in violation of WP:NMMA Rule 1 and should be deleted immediately. Newsjunky12 (talk) 18:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC) Member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians
 * Keep : At least for a few more weeks pending imminent fight announcements. Although article fails WP:NMMA, he has been recently re-signed with the UFC (Official profile added here: http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Denis-Stojnic) and as a result will be competing in top tier bouts soon. Dohertyben (talk) 19:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The link you give only shows his previous UFC losses. Do you have any sources that show he has a third top tier fight coming?  If not, assuming he will get one is just WP:CRYSTALBALL.  At this moment the subject does not appear to meet any WP notability standards, but it might not be unreasonable to userfy this article so it can be recreated if he gets a third top tier fight.

 * Delete, I can't find the interview with him (I also know that's not a credible source), but the UFC only keep fighters under contract on their website, would agree with Papaursa to userfy. Dohertyben (talk) 22:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I suspect you want to cancel one of your votes since you have voted both ways. Papaursa (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Dohertyben, I struck your earlier vote to minimize confusion.Papaursa (talk) 18:08, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Apologies, my watch list didn't seem to migrate properly with my name change, thanks! Soap MacTavish (talk) 19:31, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment: he has one of bloodiest fights in UFC (against Struve) that doesn't make him notable? http://www.cagedinsider.com/mma-news/top-10-bloodiest-mma-fights/6/ Master Sun Tzu (talk) 22:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That's right--making some blog's list of anything doesn't show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: He fought twice in UFC, also in Glory and K-1. The page is decent written. Stojnic is the best MMA artist in Bosnia. Illovecoffee (talk) 14:18, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * His nationality is irrelevant to his notability and merely fighting for K-1 or Glory doesn't meet WP:NMMA or WP:KICK--in case you're claiming he's a notable kickboxer.Mdtemp (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment: He is not kickboxer at all, mate. He fought MMA in K-1 and Glory. Glory before was Dutch and led by Bas Boon, they also had mixed martial arts fights. Notable is Stojnić because of his two UFC fights. His level in Europe was solid. Illovecoffee (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * K-1 and Glory are both best known for their kickboxing, not their MMA. They aren't even considered second tier MMA organizations.  In addition, his two UFC fights are not enough to meet WP:NMMA--that is, they are not enough to show notability.


 * Delete: Fails WP:NMMA with only two top-tier fights. Also appears to fail WP:GNG.  --TreyGeek (talk) 17:32, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I didn't actually vote earlier, a situation which I'm now rectifying. The subject currently fails to meet WP:NMMA or WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 18:08, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
