 * Delete all More routine coverage of fight cards without significant bouts or coverage. Papaursa (talk) 03:37, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep all Sometimes, I can not understand this "significancy" and "notability" issues. All competitive events in martial arts are notable, for sure. We are talking about martial arts, in pro level. A system could differ from a sport to another. In martial arts, there are several sanctioning bodies - also in boxing for your consideration. WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF are the most notable and major ones amongst the others, where there are also other bodies i.e. WBU, IBO, EBU, PABA. Therefore, since almost all (above zero level) events are sanctioned by one of those bodies, having economical content and profit purpose; no matter which sport it is, the event is a notable one. If you'd like to delete such articles, let's also discuss the presence of the K-1 Grand Prix, or K-1 itself, along with UFC, or even boxing bodies since they all are somewhat an enterprise, with all boxing events, too! In the US, since the market is bigger and on a higher level, there are more media organs and channels, so it's easier to find decent references, I agree with this fact. However, European or Asian based events should not be avoided solely based on this reason of coverage. Anyone could establisbh a website for event/athlete records or news articles, so we'd be able to let articles survive just cause of that, if there was a website being run for pertinent notions? We should not wipe related articles. Please let them stay with us. Wikipedia is where all history breathe, also in sports. As a loyal and faithful wikipedia contributor, I'll try to find relevant references to strenghten up the content of the pertient articles. Best Regards, Umi1903 (talk) 20:52, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Your claim that "all competitive events in martial arts are notable" is definitely not true, no more than every professional baseball game is notable. If you look at the notability criteria for professional boxers, for example, they must have fought for a world title.  If winning an event doesn't make you notable, how do you claim that event is notable?  From WP:EVENT:"A rule of thumb for creating a Wikipedia article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting." Certainly not every fight card is of historical significance. Papaursa (talk) 21:07, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
