The result was   delete. There was some support for keeping the main article, but unfortunately the vast majority of that appears to be copied and pasted straight from the organisation's website Black Kite (t) (c) 05:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Extreme Fighting Championship Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a relatively new MMA organization. There's a lack of significant reliable coverage and no indication that its events are notable. It also lacks notable fighters. Papaursa (talk) 22:53, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because none of these articles are anything but routine sports reporting. None of the events received significant coverage and all lacked notable fighters.

 * Delete all Events are full of non-notable fighters and fail WP:EVENT. No indication the promoter is widely known or regarded.  Seems like a training ground for South African fighters. 131.118.229.18 (talk) 15:14, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete all all fail WP:ORG and WP:SPORTSEVENT . LibStar (talk) 13:33, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the company article - Found some stuff about the company on a quick Google       - enough to make me think a longer search would pull up more and that the company has notability in Africa. I think there's a reasonable case the company in itself has had coverage in multiple sources. The fact that these are predominantly African-based sources and not the New York Times should not be a factor (see WP:BIAS. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 23:38, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Deleta all The events are clearly not notable. I don't see significant coverage of the organization (most of it is more event PR).  They haven't been in business long and they have no notable fighters.  When I look at WP:MMANOT I don't think they meet the notabiliity criteria. Astudent0 (talk) 23:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete the company, strong delete the events. Suriel's refs seem are helpful but unconvincing, on the whole--too WP:ROUTINE or insubstantial. If this really is tip of the iceberg, and someone can find more of the iceberg, would be happy to have another look. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep the company article - While each individual event doesn't carry the weight of significance, EFC Africa is holding its 11th event on 2011-11-10. This series of events is the largest in South Africa, and has grown to live coverage in a national cinema chain as well as two satellite television channels in the region.briantw (talk) 10:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
