EFC Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Three sentence article about a non-notable MMA organization and one of those is about the death of a fighter (that's WP:ONEEVENT). Most of the sources are about TV ratings--not what I'd call significant coverage.Mdtemp (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I think there are reliable and notable sources that assert notability and it according to sources the most viewed sport in South Africa. Dwanyewest (talk) 22:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you have independent sources for that claim? I know South Africa has hosted the world cups for rugby, cricket, and soccer and I don't believe MMA outdrew those events.  According to FIFA even the Confederations Cup drew an average of 6 million South Africa viewers, compared to a record high of 1.8 million for EFC.Mdtemp (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment The previous article on this organization was deleted via AfD and I'm still not seeing notability, except that the viewing audiences have apparently increased. Right now I have to agree with Mdtemp that the sources aren't there to show notability, but I'd like to give the author a chance to improve this article so I'm withholding my vote for the time being.

 * Weak Delete Agree with previous comments about coverage, but it's close. Wouldn't be a disaster if it were kept.204.126.132.231 (talk) 17:51, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
