List of current Professional Fighters League fighters

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Completely unreferenced stats page that claims to be a mirror of https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter. Fails WP:LISTPEOPLE, WP:NOTSTATS, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTMIRROR. The page is a huge BLP violation: reporting that athletes failed drug tests without rock-solid sources is irresponsible. A somewhat more encyclopedic presentation of the same information can be found in 2023 in Professional Fighters League. pburka (talk) 23:50, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep The accusation that the failed drug tests are some falsely manufactured thing is somewhat absurd, when the PFL drug failures were very widely reported on, and the fighters with wikipages have it cited and referenced in their respective arcticles. Likewise 2023 in Professional Fighters League is not a fair representation of the current roster, as some fighters don't appear in the yearly season due to injury or other factors, HOWEVER they are still under contract with the promotion. Also it's not a mirror of tapology, it clearly states that the fighter records are retrieved from there. HeinzMaster (talk) 01:19, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Abject failure of NOT. Reproducing primary-sourced rosters, especially of non-notable people, is clearly unencyclopedic.

 * Except they are not primary sourced, the accusation that the OP is making is fundamentally false. I think there is an abject indifference or misunderstanding to what that article is. Likewise, that accusation that everyone is "non-notable" is a hvague statement since a quick glance shows that almost half of them are notable. HeinzMaster (talk) 04:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete per nom and WP:NLIST. Listing people who are simply under contract to an organization/business is not something any listmaker outside that business has any interest in. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I assume you have no knowledge about combat sports because knowing who is under contract with a promotion is somewhat important. It's actually a statement that is contrary to all sports, that's like saying that no one outside of the business has interest in who is on a NFL or NBA team. HeinzMaster (talk) 01:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The NFL and NBA are a whole different kettle of fish. They have independent sportswriters, analysts and commentators discussing, among other things, trades and salary caps. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The same thing can be said about mma promotions. A fighter signing with a promotion is usually reported on. HeinzMaster (talk) 23:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and WP:NLIST. "Current" is not manageable. Doczilla  Ohhhhhh, no! 11:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
