No notability in MMA career. Minor notice that hints at notability in K-1, but no sourcing to back these claims up. Paralympiakos (talk) 13:02, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Recently held the "WMA (World Muay Thai Association) Super Heavyweight World Title", was a finalist in a K-1 World GP tournament, and a K-1 Brazil Champion . (I'll also toss in this link though I'm unsure how useful it is.)  His MMA career is lacking, however, a little searching shows he's notable as a kickboxer.  --TreyGeek (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What about it being unsourced for his kickboxing career then? In recent times, we've seen a few notable individuals being deleted because of a lack of sources. Why is this guy any different? Paralympiakos (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think an article being unsourced is necessarily a criteria for deletion. As I have shown above, there are sources available signifying his possible notability.  Someone could take the initiative and add those sources and others to the article now or it could be done following the AfD discussion.  Either way, sources are available on this individual, the sources show that he appears to have notability in the area of kickboxing, and therefore I choose to suggest keeping the article.  --TreyGeek (talk) 13:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Although there is a major push on to remove unsourced BLPs, the above reference about a Muay Thai world championship shows notability to me. Astudent0 (talk) 15:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I created his page a few years ago. He's a notable kickboxer alright. Paralympiakos, if you are serious about some major deletion on martial arts bio pages i can give you a good list of pages to look through. After about 10,000 edits here in wiki on martial arts i'm not that active anymore for various reasons.cheersMarty Rockatansky (talk) 04:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe there is enough evidence to support notability. Papaursa (talk) 20:12, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
