Kolyan Edgar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Contested Prod on notability grounds. In response several Russian language links were given but mostly TouTube. The others don't seem to establish notability either. Peter Rehse (talk) 03:09, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep but improve article. Wikipedia's mixed martial arts notability guideline states that a person is notable if they have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization.  Based on the translation of the Russian sources, Kolyan Edgar seems to be among the top Kudo fighters in Russia, and I also found an English-language site that says that he won the World Championship for Kudo. He definitely meets the notability standard. NJ Wine (talk) 04:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Question Is Kudo a "top-tier MMA organization"?Peter Rehse (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think of kudo more as a karate offshoot than MMA. Jakejr (talk) 04:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I would say winning two world championships is sufficient to show notability. I have added a source (the Kudo International Federation) to the article showing the championship claims are supported.  I've also cleaned up the text a little bit, though the whole article could use more sources. Jakejr (talk) 04:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. Notable in his field. Cavarrone (talk) 23:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is notable in his field and winning 2 championships (at world level) is enough to get WP:N.  →TSU tp* 17:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
