Fails WP:MMANOT for having no fights in top tier promotions. Also fails WP:GNG as coverage for fights are routine report.  ♡RAFAEL♡(talk) 11:03, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: I see some profiles and other coverage in Chinese-language sources:   . A more thorough search would probably find more. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:00, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but my computer security settings block the first and third of your references. Of the other two, one is promoting an upcoming OneFC fight card in Shanghai in 2019 and the other is highlighting the best Chinese fighter performances in the 2019 OneFC events in Beijing and Shanghai.  Do you have some better examples of significant coverage?  That's important because he clearly doesn't meet WP:NMMA.  Thanks. Papaursa (talk) 20:34, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete He has no top tier fights to meet WP:NMMA. My search did not find anything to show me that there is enough significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG.  Fightmatrix says his highest ranking ever was 140th, which is not close to showing WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:16, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I crossed out my vote. While I'm not convinced by the sources given, the fact that I'm unable to access all of them means the coverage may be better than I can see. Papaursa (talk) 13:18, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  From Google Translate: "Fan Rong has a strong physique, not only has huge muscles, but also has clear lines, and his beautiful abdominal muscles are not lost to small-level fighters. He has practiced javelin, discus and shot put since he was a child and is an excellent track and field athlete. After being admitted to the Sports Training Department of Harbin Institute of Physical Education in 2009, he began to understand and get in touch with mixed martial arts. ... In the arena, he played a good record of 11 wins and 2 losses. It is worth mentioning that Fan Rong also represented the Chinese national team in the MMA Asian Championships. With two surrenders and one TKO, he defeated three powerful enemies and won the 93 kg gold medal."  From Google Translate: "Fan Rong, previously a special police officer, officially entered the professional mixed martial arts competition in early 2016. In just over two years, he has won ten consecutive victories in domestic competitions, including four surrenders and five KO end victories. ... At the beginning of 2019, Fan Rong continued to pursue his dream of mixed martial arts, successfully completed the signing of the ONE Championship, and successfully entered the international arena. ... In his debut at Manila this year, Fan Rong challenged Reinier De Ridder, a Dutch athlete who is 193 cm tall. In the first round of the competition, the Dutch used perfect Jiu-Jitsu skills to create unprecedented pressure on Fan Rong. While ending Fan Rong's ten-game winning streak, he improved his record to 10 wins and 0 losses." <li> From Google Translate: "At present, the best middleweight player in my country's mixed martial arts should be the "war police" Fan Rong. He is 185 cm tall and weighs about 85 kg. He has a current record of 11 wins and 2 losses. He has a very good body and is also very good at surrendering opponents. There are not many domestic athletes who can compare with him, so in the future, Fan Rong will mainly challenge Russian and European and American players. It is conceivable that the difficulty is very large. Fan Rong’s opponent this time is Brazilian Yuri Simmons, who currently has no mixed martial arts record and has won the championship of innocent jiu-jitsu."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Fan Rong to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep Definitely meets WP:GNG, thanks to work by Cunard. VocalIndia (talk) 03:42, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep thanks to the sources supplied by Cunard. The second two especially appear to focus on Fan Rong and are WP:SIGCOV. NemesisAT (talk) 18:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
