 * Delete. No reference sources indicating notability. --DAJF (talk) 03:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Seems to fulfill our notability requirements for athletes in a straightforward manner as someone who has competed at the highest level of his sport (MMA→UFC). Searching in Japanese (国原継悟) may yield more sources. Dekimasu よ! 04:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. He's only competed once in that highest level of the sport, and lost in the preliminary round at that, but that's enough to meet WP:ATHLETE by the skin off his knuckles. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep fought in UFC (lost) but that passes [WP:Athlete]] --Nate1481 12:51, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep concur that this is a technical satisfaction of WP:ATHLETE. Is this what's done with boxers? One pro match suffices? JJL (talk) 12:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment/Question - While he barely passes WP:ATHLETE, shouldn't we also look for subject to pass WP:GNG, i.e. have "significant coverage" about them? I was unable to find any, and since he's retired and hasn't accomplished more it's unlikely someone will do a write-up about him I would think. WP should not be a directory with stubs containing only fight records imo. -- aktsu  (t / c) 12:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
